To enable the latest DisplayPort 1.3 / 1.4 features, your graphics card may require a firmware update.
Without the update, systems that are connected to a DisplayPort 1.3 / 1.4 monitor could experience blank screens on boot until the OS loads, or could experience a hang on boot.
The NVIDIA Firmware Updater will detect whether the firmware update is needed, and if needed, will give the user the option to update it.
If you are currently experiencing a blank screen or hang on boot with a DP 1.3 or 1.4 monitor, please try one of the following workarounds in order to run the tool:
Boot using DVI or HDMI
Boot using a different monitor
Change boot mode from UEFI to Legacy; or Legacy to UEFI.
Boot using an alternate graphics source (secondary or integrated graphics card)
Once you have the tool downloaded, please run the tool and follow the on-screen instructions.
The latest NVIDIA graphics card drivers can be downloaded from: //www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx

It is easy to run and verify if your already up to date or not.
"To enable the latest DisplayPort 1.3 / 1.4 features, your graphics card may require a firmware update."
I've no idea what all is entailed in the quoted statement, but I wouldn't do this, if everything seems to be working correctly.
Perhaps it might be needed for new BFGD Displays when used with certain GPUs that do not have the latest firmware. Dunno
