Do drivers affect performance or are they simply a way of keeping up with new games?

I ask this because I have a graphics card(GT630) which seems to have been discontinued when a certain driver was released which is therefore the latest driver I am able to use with it.

So I'm curious as to whether a newer driver would improve my games' performance or not.

Actually, when I go onto the nVidia driver's download page and select my GPU and all the other pertinent info, they show me a lot of newer drivers for this card(GT630), but the newest that will actually work, no matter what OS, is the one I've been using since I got the GPU, which is from 2013(the driver, not the GPU which is even older), if I'm not mistaken.
Windows 10 for one, is constantly trying to update my GPU's drivers but I've blocked it through gpedit because I know the driver won't work because it's newer than the one I'm currently using.

That's why I suppose my GPU has been discontinued, because its newer drivers can be used by other, newer GPU's.
