RDP - Can you game remotely?

[ColemontHD]

With the latest RDP going 32bit, is it possible to game from one machine to the next? Please let me know if this is possible.

I'm not sure, but every time I've used RDP the screen updates rather slowly (compared to the actual computer) which would make it pretty hard to game...

It won't allow for Direct3D over Remote Desktop, you just get a 3D render failed error message.

Even if its within the local network?

Connection? to slow?

At 100mbps, its slow?

Even on a LAN, it just simply doesn't work

I tried playing CS:Source over RDP just for the heck of it and it was not fun. The screen refreshes too slowly.

The datarate to a 1280*1024 monitor is 1887 mbps. And even if you had that much speed on a network, there would still be lag. Plus, I don't think rdp captures d3d.
