FWIW, the only way there has ever been to update graphics drivers is if Apple had a firmware update. One could never download a driver and install it themselves. If someone told you that from Apple Tech Support you should call them back, ask for a senior advisor and tell them what you were told.


Why do you think you need to update the graphics driver?
