    Why bother with downloading and install WHQL drivers if you get the better hotfix drivers 1-2 or 3 days later? :rolleyes:

    I don't understand, all my videos have an annoying flicker with this driver. Everything else seemingly works great except for the videos. YouTube flickers, any video in the corner of a web page flickers its damning. The only driver that works right (NO FLICKER) is 376.60. Anyone else run into this problem and more importantly solved it?
