The game is un-fucking-playable for me

I've got an r9 270x and amd fx 6300. I know they're not great specs, but I've tried to tweak it in every single possible way, even disables the origin overlay and played at lower resolutions. The more I tweak, the worse it gets.

I refuse to believe that I can't play this game even when I barely see the details due to the low res. Something is up. It used to work just fine, until updates kept rolling... what the fuck, dice.
