Client: 7 years old Notebook via 802.11g
Result: flawless performance @720p60 when no other devices are connected to WLAN, otherwise have to use 720p30. Had absolutely no problems playing Deus Ex Human Revolution using Xbox 360 Wireless Controller.
For now, the wait for the coveted beta email continues.

-- Slow Decode Warning in all games
-- Mouse was SUPER sensitive
Strike Vector - 21 FPS, easily playable, mouse sensitivity actually helped
Don't Starve - 30 FPS, playable
CS: GO - 29 FPS, playable, but lolmouse
All in all, AWESOME!
Won't work since the Pi is ARM and the Steam Client is only available for x86.
I have a very typical setup in that I have a main Gaming PC in an office directly below my home theater about 25ft away in an upstairs loft.
I want to test how wireless 802.11ac will perform. Currently 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz offer okay performance. Most high end routers however offer substantially improved performance using 802.11ac. Since most devices still only support up to wireless N protocols and USB 802.11ac solutions are not much better than wirless N, I want to try game streaming using an 802.11ac bridge.
I am running an Asus RT-AC66U wireless router. To bypass the poor ac performance of USB dongles I am planning on just buying a second RT-AC66U router and setting it up as a bridge. Then I will just connect my laptop to the bridge.
Testing I have seen online shows throughput around 300-350 Mbps at a range of 20 ft when using the bridge. as opposed to 80-150 Mbps using a none bridge solution.
This to me seems the best speed option if you really want to avoid drilling holes in your walls or running excessive wires. The downside is the cost of buying 2 high end wireless routers though the RT-AC66U is a little older now so it isn''t 200 dollars anymore.
If no one has tried this setup by the time I get beta access I will post some results or opinions of its performance. I want to avoid running CAT-5 through my attic, too much damn fiber glass insulation :(

Electronic Super Joy
1920x1080:
Level: Drop the Beat
Client:
15 or so FPS,
4% frame loss
20 Deaths
Notes: Everything was good until the 'beat dropped' and the screen lit up, then we got lag spikes
Host:
Perfect FPS
4 Deaths
1280x720:
Level: Drop the Beat
Client:
Avg 30 or so FPS
20% frame loss
10 Deaths
Notes: Again everything was good until the 'beat dropped' and the screen lit up, then we got similar lag spikes but not nearly as bad
For this game the lag was noticeable, but you could compensate better at 720 than 1080, I suspect on an N network or at a lower resolution numbers would be much better

Portal 2 - Decent stream, playable.
Just Cause 2 - "Okay" stream, barely playable
Psychonauts - Decent stream, playable
Mark of the Ninja - Bad stream, barely playable
Half-Life 2: Deathmatch - near perfect stream, playable
Vector - "Okay" stream, playable
The Binding of Isaac - UNPLAYABLE (got Steam error 2 though kept playing on host computer)
Pokemon TCG Online (non-steam game) - Streamed perfectly, playable
Half-Life - UNPLAYABLE (Half-Life Launcher was not working correctly while streaming, runs fine without streaming. Both screens had a white screen on the top left side.)
BIT.TRIP Runner2 - "Okay" stream, playable
Gone Home - Decent stream, playable
Transformers War for Cybertron - "Okay" stream, barely playable
This was all with Automatic settings in streaming. I'll play around with the settings and see if I notice any changes. I'll test more games and put all my results here, but overall, nicely done Valve!
MBP N Connection to Recent Netgear router
I got 20 FPS on Fallout 3, and 30 FPS on NBA 2k
It was running at 720p to my MBP at 1400 native resolution
Hoping to get those numbers up
iwconfig shows about 115Mb/s for the wireless connection. I just played around with Borderlands2 and its working great. <1% paketloss and inputlatency of about 2ms.
Very well playable. Will try other games and see how this works.
