RE:
NVIDIA Graphics Firmware Update Tool.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.
NVIDIA has created a downloadable tool which will detect whether the firmware update is needed, and if needed, give the user the option to update it.
This update only applies to the graphics cards listed.
For desktop systems, please follow the link below to download the NVIDIA Graphics Firmware Update Tool.

(This post is a Universal Sticky; to make it clear that there is a update from Nvidia, and to make the information easy to find)
Edit/Note: seems to requires a UEFI based motherboard BIOS
Does not seem to help with older X58 MB - see post
