If you have a good desktop PC far away and a laptop that's not so great, you could try Nvidia GameStream and Moonlight client. Your desktop PC does all the heavy lifting (3D, game rendering, etc) and streams the video output to your remote device that can be a laptop, tablet, or even smartphone.
I've tried it and it worked. I was able to play Sims 4 on a remote PC which had a crap CPU and graphics card that normally would have choked on Sims 4. Also worked on my Android tablet and smartphone. I can't remember how well it worked, but it did work. I think Wifi speed was the bottleneck and on my Android devices there were some aspect ratio/resolution issues because my desktop PC is semi-widescreen at 16:10, phone was 16:9, and tablet is 4:3. This was over a year ago and they (Moonlight authors) may have fixed those issues by now.
