OS X 10.11.2, Yosemite/Mavericks Security Update, Safari 9.0.2, Xcode 7.2, iOS 9.2, tvOS 9.1
(OS X update download links included but some available only via software update)

FYI: There's several threads in apple's forums about 2013 Mac Pro owners having problems with displays after waking the Mac from sleep. One owner said using the Mac's power button to wake helped.

Users of Nvidia's web drivers know that new OS X updates (versions or build numbers) require updated Nvidia graphics drivers (some non-Mac EFI cards are not supported by default OS X drivers).

(Updated Dec. 9th/10th/15th with links to updated CUDA and Graphics drivers for OS X 10.11.2, 10.10.5 and 10.9.5 builds with above Security Updates installed.)
