Is the word gráficos the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The word "gráficos" is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammar in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only difference lies in pronunciation.

In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels tend to be more open and the rhythm is more "syllable-timed," making the word sound more melodic. In Continental Portuguese, unstressed vowels are much more reduced or "swallowed" (vowel reduction), meaning the "i" in "gráficos" might be pronounced much more subtly or quickly than in Brazil.
