You could try Driver Detective. http://www.driverdetective.org/

It states: "Driver Detective has been downloaded more than 1,000,000 times 
and has received excellent reviews from users and professionals alike. 
Driver Detective will download and install new driver software, remove old 
drivers, and maintain a local backup copy of the current driver revision. 
Driver Detective will save time and effort over the long run because you 
won't waste your time on fruitless installations, troubleshooting and 
rollbacks.

Driver Detective will find and apply new updates automatically, so you 
don't even need to go out looking for updates. When an update for a driver 
your system uses is made available, Driver Detective will find it, download 
it, install it, back it up and archive the old driver. You can also roll 
back to the older driver version if you need to. Seriously, it doesn't get 
any better than this!"

There are a number of "review" sites which look suspiciously similar and 
self-serving. I suspect they are all part of the same network, a marketing 
device which usually makes me highly suspicious of the product. However, 
Driver Detective has been around for a long time, and I believe it is 
effective, though I haven't used it myself for many years.

The price appears to be $30 and there's a trial version available here 
which might possibly suit your purposes. http://www.updatedriversquickly.com/
