I wonder what this means for the Steam Machine.

I wonder if this means we can get VRR on the Steam Deck via official dock. That would be great.

UPDATE: Even more exciting... Per this comment from a prominent AMD Linux developer, it looks like a full HDMI 2.1 implementation for AMDGPU could be coming!
