I had a Nikon AF Sigma 70-200mm D f3.5 APO HSM EX and Sigma updated its software which improved its performance dramatically - it cost very litle as well to have that done.

Here's what the Sigma rep told me:- The firmware for the Nikon D600 that related to distortion control will only be relevant to Nikkor lens and not Sigma brand lenses, this is why that section of the camera menu will be greyed out. We do have some firmware updates for the Sigma 70-200mm APO DG OS lens but this is related to an AF selection issue when Nikon changed the firmware in their cameras circa 2013. So, if the AF is working and the AF and MF setting on the camera’s lcd screen does not flicker between the two then it should not need an update.’’ I shall have to be patient.

If you want faster or more accurate AF you need to move to D850 or D810 or even the D3/D4/D5/D6 for full frame cameras. The D500 has fast AF but it is APS-C. Once you move to the Z series cameras the AF accuracy improves with the Z6iii, Z8 and Z9 being as the best.
