gtx 980 after using NVIDIA Graphics Firmware Update Tool for DisplayPort 1.3 and 1.4 Displays

hello im wondering if this info is right, since i just got a displayport for my gtx 980 reference model, and the 24g2 aoc monitor with displayport capability of 1.2 according to the monitor OSD

i pretty much had to do this because when i installed the displayport cable on my monitor/gpu and turned on the pc, the screen stayed black until OS showed up and i couldnt get into bios anymore, so i knew something was wrong and i came up through a post in another website that mentioned the same problem, and saw this firmware update for the displayport issue and decided to give it a go

i used this to update the gpu firmware for the displayport https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/nv-uefi-update-x64/ i honestly had no idea it would be a risky process.

this is the displayport cable i got

i thought the transfer rate should be 21.6 gbps according to the website displayport cable info, sorry i ask because i have no idea how this works.

thanks for your time.
