My system specs are as follows:

FX-8320 (Factory clock)
4gb of G-Skill RAM @ 1600Mhz
Sapphire R9-270x (factory clock)
750 Watt EVGA Power supply
Asus Sabertooth R2.0 MoBo
Windows 8.1

I bought Crysis 3 yesterday and it was playing fine on the high preset with Smaa x1 at 1920x1080, and the menus all ran fine, but today when I tried to play the game, it was almost impossible to even navigate the menus, let alone play the game, it was ludicrously laggy. I have not changed any settings or drivers since yesterday, so I am very perplexed as to why this would happen. What makes me even more perplexed is that I run BF4 on high (not ultra due to only having 4gbs of RAM) perfectly on high with some ultra settings and my computer doesn't have any problems.

Not entirely related to the original question, but even with 4GB of RAM, you can do a simple tweak for BF4 that allows you to select ultra settings no matter how little RAM you have.
There seems to be some weird new thing where developers think that their games require a lot more RAM than they actually do, so they lock the settings for people with less RAM or don't even let them start the game.... cough cough COD Ghosts cough...

Thanks for that, I'll make sure and try it, I was really looking forward to playing BF4 on ultra. Any tips on Crysis? And I also really want that Razer case... Like really bad.

Are those options within Crysis or Battlefield? And thanks for responding, not a lot of manufacturers do that.

No, those options are within the motherboard BIOS. I just want to make sure you have the system set up properly because it is commonly overlooked. Because if not, it can cause strange laggy issues like you are describing.. but then again you said it was working fine at first.. so who knows. Just something to check or check off the list.

So I looked, and the last update was at the beginning of this month, and I know that my game was COMPLETELY up to date because I always check for updates before I play a game, so it's the same hardware and same game, and now even the opening cinematic is super slow, so I don't know what the problem is.

I also just realized that Red Alert 2, when run through Origin is unplayable, and I could play that game on my dad's Pentium as a kid, so I think it might have something to do with Origin. Has anyone else had issues with Origin causing these problems?
