Additionally, the input lag may have been there all along but was not perceivable due to low performance.

No I've done the same slowmo recording test, and it was not there.

Also V-Sync is off now.

AMD even has an "anti lag" feature which apparently does nothing.

Edit: I have a Ryzen CPU, I've expected the full AMD system to work together better.

It's possible your monitor has G-Sync (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_G-Sync), and not FreeSync (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeSync)

Nah, it's an old benq G2222HDL, without either of those

This might sound weird, but do you have the BenQ DVI driver installed? [1]

Interesting. To be clear, the only change was the GFX card (and driver)?

There is a minimal chance that I might have used the VGA port on my monitor, and now I'm using DVI.

I'm like 80% confident I've used DVI in the previous setup, but there still is a chance that I'm wrong.

I'll probably try getting a dvi->vga converter in the next couple of days and see if this is the culprit.

Can you do a display port cable instead of either of those?

Monitor only has DVI and VGA

Do you only notice the input lag in-games or does it persist when, say, dragging application windows around?
