MSI GTX 670 Power Edition Twin Frozr IV 2 GB is the card I have

But 2 days ago it was working fine and then all of a sudden it just stopped and its like something has happened to the driver as its tearing and doesn't show the resolution it was showing before?

It's frowned upon to double post so quickly
Sounds like a dying card. It *might* just need a vBIOS flash, but at this point, you really need to look at a replacement

What are the specs of the rest of the system? What are you trying to use it for?

Only option for drivers is to use DDU to remove the old ones and then install the newest available for your card. Nvidia should still have the drivers available but keep in mind they're going to be a few years old as the 600 series cards haven't been supported in quite awhile.

 

If that doesn't work it could be your cable, if you have another one handy I'd try that.

 

But with a card this old, you're most likely looking at failure. If the drivers or cable don't work I'd look into replacing that GPU.

Wait, is your display plugged into the GPU? or the motherboard?

So I tried ddu it still turned up the same, or the screen was blurry, but I also tried a new cable and also another monitor but still remained the same, its just strange how it all of sudden happened without doing anything
