NVIDIA GRAPHICS FIRMWARE UPDATE TOOL FOR DISPLAYPORT 1.3 AND 1.4 DISPLAYS
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.

I was reading this article and found this in the comments section:
If Nvidia - I expect a year from now a lot better drivers now that they're rewriting some of their driver components in Rust.

Is that true?
If so, which parts of Nvidia's drivers are being rewritten in Rust?
