    Does this work on both desktops or laptops, and does the flickering happen on Maxwell or just Pascal?

    All hotfix drivers are for Desktops/Laptops, there are no separate downloads for hotfix drivers.

    The flickering happens on both Maxwell and Pascal, the driver changes nothing else so if you are not experiencing any flickering, you do not necessarily need these drivers although I have installed them since 5 hours and my graphics card didn't turn into barbecue chicken yet.

    On my desktop I was getting flickering at 144 hz but not on 120 Hz on both 362.00 and 365.19 but I am on 362.00 right now. I may try 368.51 in a couple days or something.

    Will have to snag these because I am experiencing the flickering on my Acer G-Sync monitor.
