NVIDIA Releases Firmware Update Tool To Support DisplayPort 1.3 and 1.4 Displays
Nvidia is now allowing you to update GPUs with a firmware to enable HDR color accuracy. That might come in pretty handy for people who are on the lookout for the upcoming ACER/ASUS HDR Gsync 144hz monitors.
The firmware allows 10 and 12 bit per channel signal output when an HDR “signal” is detected. The DisplayPort 1.3 and 1.4 specifications provide enhanced display capabilities. To ensure compatibility with these specifications, an update to the NVIDIA graphics firmware may be required. Without the update, systems that are connected to a DisplayPort 1.3 / 1.4 monitor could experience blank screens on boot until the operating system loads, or could experience a hang on boot.
Applicable Graphics Cards
NVIDIA TITAN Series:
- TITAN X (Maxwell), TITAN X (Pascal), TITAN XP
GeForce 10 Series:
- GeForce GT 1030, GeForce GTX 1050, GTX 1050Ti, GTX 1060, GTX 1070, GTX 1070Ti, GTX 1080, GTX 1080Ti
GeForce 900 Series:
- GeForce GTX 950, GTX 950Ti, GTX 960, GTX 970, GTX 980, GTX 980Ti
GeForce 700 Series:
- GeForce GTX 745, GTX 750, GTX 750Ti
Quadro Series:
- Quadro GP100, Quadro P6000, Quadro P5000, Quadro P4000, Quadro P2000, Quadro P1000, Quadro P620, Quadro P600, Quadro P400, Quadro M6000 24GB, Quadro M6000, Quadro M5000, Quadro M4000, Quadro M2000, Quadro K2200, Quadro K1200, Quadro K620, NVS 810

I don't have a Monitor that uses DisplayPort 1.3/1.4 but i ran the update anyways.
Closed MSI Afterburner and every other program i didn't need. Got a couple of black screens during the process and had to reboot for completion.

It said my 1070ti has an "already updated" firmware. It's still the default original Gigabyte Vbios, they never released any updates, strangely, so they must have been coded everything perfectly the very first try /s
Although I only wanted to see if I needed the update, since I don't have an HDR monitor, doubt I'll ever buy into that until it's as mainstream as LED, for example.
It's most likely not the latest GOP version.
There have been multiple GOP updates since release, probably around 10 of them.
As long as you have the minimum version(not sure when it was added, just say version 4 for example) then it will say it's not required to update.
Download this https://www.win-raid.com/file.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffiles.homepagemodules.de%2Fb602300%2Ff16t892p45571n2_KQZpkECT.rar&r=&content=RE%3A_AMD_and_Nvidia_GOP_update
Dump your bios with NVFLASH( command is " nvflash --save x.rom"
Then drag your bios to the GOPUpd.bat file.
It will list info about your GPU bios and list GOP version.
Check the version; latest is version 3000A for pascal.

Or Nvidia knew something and didn't use the latest, those listed there could be buggy for all we know.

No chance.
Brand new cards come with newer versions.
Besides, GOP firmware is relatively simple; not much to be 'buggy'.
Newer is better anyways, chances of better compatibility with hardware and OS, faster booting etc.

Then why didn't Nvidia use the latest?
I saw pascal users got the same as me.. January 2017.
And for very latest you have to use that funky tool, Looked a bit complicated compared to Nvidia's click and install

Who knows why they don't use the latest.
As for it being complicated, it's not.
All you do is drag your vbios file to the GOPUpd.bat file.
It asks you if you want to update it, you press Y.
It saves it as a Vbios_updgop.rom
Then you flash it.
Benefit of the program is that it does not matter if it's modded or not.
Very simple procedure.

Any changes compared to January 2017?

I've updated at least a half dozen via that utility with no issues.
My personal rig and my 1060laptop are updated with no issues.
There is no changelog for the public.

I'm getting a 404 error when I try to download the file itself from the Nvidia site linked here. Is this just me or are they down now for some reason?
Update: I was able to download with Firefox, but not with Chrome or Edge. Just in case anyone else runs into the same problem I did.
Update 2: Both of the cards that needed the bios fix were successfully updated.
It's Timmy Joe's fault.

Thanks for this tool, really nice. Dumped the Vbios with GPU-Z and apparently the tool was correct, it's the last one.
Good to know, since the card is working just fine, so updating its BIOS was not really high on my list.

On the Asus Rampage V Extreme, when the CSM option in BIOS is enabled, video is outputted to HDMI until Windows is loaded and then the video gets routed to the Displayport. I was 99% sure it was a motherboard BIOS bug, and now I'm certain of it...
