The article is very well written. This is one time that you should read a WCCFTECH article.
The interesting part for PC Gamers is this blurb. This Game Mode VRR sounds awfully familiar? Right on the tip of my tongue...
Game Mode VRR features variable refresh rate, which enables a 3D graphics processor to display the image at the moment it is rendered for more fluid and better detailed gameplay, and for reducing or eliminating lag, stutter, and frame tearing.

Q: Does this require the new HDMI cable?
A: No
Q: Will this work with 8K@60 or 4K@120Hz?
A: Yes if those features are implemented along with Higher Video Resolution. That will require the new 48G cable
Q: Is this primarily for consoles or will PCs utilize this also?
A: It can be used for both.
Q: Will this result in more gaming PCs connecting to HDMI displays, either monitors or TVs?
A: The intent of the feature is to enable HDMI technology to be used in these applications. Given that HDMI connectivity already has a strong presence in this area, we expect that use of HDMI technology in gaming will continue to grow.
R.I.P. current video cards? Or do they support this feature set already? I see that the GTX 1080 has HDMI 2.0b and the RX 480 has HDMI 2.0. I know that AMD has FreeSync 2 HDR monitors coming soon and Nvidia is unveiling a 4K 144Hz HDR GSYNC monitor tonight. I'm more concerned about those of use that buy big TVs for monitors. Really neat that the consoles get VRR support with this.
