PC-Performence suddenly dropped

Hello!

I got a problem for like one week now. My FPS are suddenly way lower than before. I usually played Far Cry 5 at highest settings at 70-80 fps, now it's 40-50 fps. Same goes for AC Origins, before 70 fps, now 40. I haven't changed my settings or downloaded a windows update. I tried to install a new driver, didn't change anything.

My specs: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 @3.9 Ghz
GTX 1080
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 2400MHz
Windows runs on a ssd, the rest on a normal HDD

I first thought that my graphics card is the reason but I ran a benchmark (FurMark Full HD) and got 7099 points, which is normal for my GPU. Temperatures haven't changed aswell and are totally fine. I seriously don't know what could be the reason. I hope someone of you may help me.

Thank you in advance!
