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.

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.
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.
