Stream 120fps to 120hz monitor
Say my desktop`s 670 is running the game at 120fps and I am streaming it to my laptop with a 120hz display, will I be able to play the game at a 100+ frame rate on my laptop over the network?

Not sure if they will have any hard limits in the software layer. We will have to wait and see, but I would tend to think 120FPS would require a solid network since the software is going to be optimized for 60fps and a wired network. I will be curious to see if you will get your 120fps on a gigabit connection or if you will require team'd NICs.

Streaming will never be a replacement for higher performance systems. Never. Doing this outside of scientific curiosity is pointless. Streaming is meant as a replacement for having double high end computers, or in a place where you dont want to have cables & equipment. Not high end image teleportation.

Even if you could achieve 120fps there would still be occasional lag and artifacts kinda ruining the 120hz experience. A network is not one magnitude slower than the cable between your gpu and screen, its multiple. Encoding and decoding adds to this of course.
