A simple and general graphics card driver update replaces the code that resides within the dll files that the graphics driver runs upon.

As users use their graphics cards they may notice error's with certain programs or games.

An error report is then sent to the manufacturer, they then try to solve the error

and work out a solution in the code of the driver, after enough error's are fixed

or on a monthly basis a new build of the driver code is released for the public to download.

As new programs or games are created they contain different codes and new technologies unfamiliar to the drivers currently installed, the drivers and the programs converse and it's sometimes as if a program speaks a language unfamiliar to the driver, and so the hardware behaves incorrectly, causing crashes to the program and even sometimes stresses and crashes the computer itself.

I hope I didn't write too much, but I felt that a person asking such a question should know all of this.
