If you use the runfile installer method, the toolkit installer will prompt you individually for each of the 3 components:

1. GPU Driver
2. CUDA Toolkit
3. CUDA Samples

So use the runfile installer method, and simply select "no" to the first prompt, if you don't want to install the driver. You can still install the toolkit and samples. You can download the runfile installer from here

and after successfully installing cuda toolkit 6.5 how to upgrade my graphics driver without disturbing cuda toolkit and reinstall everything from the beginning

The driver can always be installed separately by downloading a driver installer package from www.nvidia.com.

If you use a package manager method, it should be possible to install the toolkit without the driver by installing the cuda-toolkit-X.Y package, where X.Y is the CUDA version. Refer to the package manager section of the install guide
