Windows 10: NVIDIA Firmware Update Utility (Version 5.469.0)

Earlier within two weeks I downloaded that file from the site of Majorgeeks also I saw other sites have the same download too. But I need to know what does this program, NVIDIA Firmware Update Utility (Version 5.469.0) do with the computers? I have my desktop with HP Omen #870-119 with ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050TI 4 GB. I usually updated with the drivers for my graphic card through NVIDIA site when it's available. But with this I am not sure who is the publisher and what does this program do? Should I ignore this and go along with the drivers update when it's available from NVIDIA site.

Let me know about this as I just want to know what is this program for?

Thank you,

John

PS3 and PSP firmware updated

Sony has updated the firmware for its two most recent consoles, with a few improvements for each. The PS3 firmware has been updated to version 1.70, which will enable gamers to play PS1 software purchased from the PlayStation Store (previously only playable on the PSP) and will allow the use of the vibration function of accessories when playing PlayStation and PlayStation 2 titles (not PS3 games unfortunately, but a step forwards). The PlayStation Store still lists all classic titles as being for the PSP, but this may be changed when it’s updated later this week. As for the PSP, the firmware has been updated to version 3.40, with the most noticeable changes being improved support for PlayStation Network titles and a changed method for managing certificates under [Game]. Apparently with the new firmware, gamers can share save data between both consoles allowing PS1 titles to be continued on the move and at home.
