Steam is the best thing to happen to non-console, non-mobile gaming in a couple of decades. If the resolution of the host display is set in-game to the same as the client, that's that much less work the client has to do.
It sounds like as much of the work, including graphical work, as possible should be done on the host. Remember, the client can be a low-performance device, so long as it can sufficiently play the stream, as it doesn't handle rendering the game's graphics. While it would be feasible to do this on a headless server with a beefy processor and minimal graphical power, you're almost certainly going to get better results if a decent enough GPU is used on the host.
The Mac’s native utility, Boot Camp, makes this process possible. Playing Steam games on a Mac is possible by only using the Mac hardware and switching the software to Windows. This is extreamly easy to do and does not require Boot Camp. Mac users have different options allowing them to play Windows games on Mac devices without changing hardware features. Ideally, the hosting machine would need to be powerful enough to play the game and to encode the stream simultaneously. I am going to show you how to play Steam games for Windows on Mac. Does the hosting machine need powerful graphics or would a headless Xeon PC server work well? I ask as I am looking at getting one anyway to host opensim and that only being a database doesn't require much in the way of a GPU the graphics being handled by the client viewer.
