Some packages are detecting detectable drivers (pdfTeX/LuaTeX, XeTeX, VTeX)
automatically (graphics/color usually by graphics.cfg/color.cfg of the
TeX distribution, hyperref, ...).

Thus in many cases it is sufficient to omit the driver option:
  \usepackage{graphicx}
But the option might be needed for undetectable drivers, e.g.:
  \usepackage[dvipdfm]{graphicx}
