The best way to do this would be to find the make and model of graphics card, go to the manufacturer's website, locate the corresponding drivers and download them. Once they are downloaded, install them, and this will overwrite any existing, older drivers that are installed, leaving only the latest drivers installed.
On the other hand, there are driver-management programs that are available online to download which allow a program access to your computer hardware information, and with this information, it can determine which drivers need to be updated.
For more information on the second point raised, search for something along the lines of "device driver updater tool" online.
