I solved it! I tried the GPU in the other PCIe slot on the motherboard and performance is now as it should! Apparantly it is possible for a PCIe slot to fail in such a way that it significantly affects performance, without causing crashing or artifacts. I will try and see if I can fix the broken...

I checked, windows version is 21H2, which it says is the latest version. Not sure what bios version I was running before, but I just updated to the newest version and no change. Regarding the PSU, I cant find a model number anywhere on it without taking it out, but I measured the GPU voltages...

Thanks for your reply :) The power supply is also from 2016. Knowing the budget I was working on back then I assume its probably not of very high quality. I will look up the part number and check the voltages tomorrow. I think you might be right in suspecting it. As for the windows/bios...

You could try deinstalling the AMD drivers using DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller), maybe there are still some remnants of the old driver messing up your system. Also look at the CPU and RAM usage while playing the games that have slowed down. Perhaps the bottleneck is not graphics related...
