Battlefield 4 running very slow with SSD?

[tleast]

I recently upgraded my Lenovo Y510P from an HDD to a 250 GB Samsung 850 Evo SSD. After installing the base software (SSD optimization, etc.) I then proceeded to download Battlefield 4, and played it flawlessly on ultra settings. Then I decided to install Guild Wars 2, and after playing noticed some graphics issues with both games, and had to turn the settings down. Battlefield 4 came crashing down to barely being playable on low settings. I realized I nearly maxed out my SSD, and only had 25GB of free space left so I uninstalled Guild Wars (+some other useless cloned over software) and now have 86GB of free space, which should have put me back into the acceptable range for an SSD. However Battlefield 4 is still super, super slow and I have tried changing all of the settings in Samsung Magician and NVIDIA control panel with no progress. The graphics drivers are up to date too. Any ideas on what could be happening?

Also Crystal Benchmark says my SSD is reading at almost 6000 mb/s and writing at 4000 mb/s. This is very strange.

PC build:
Lenovo Y510P
Intel i7-4700MQ
16GB RAM
Dual NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M
Samsung 850 EVO

First, I guess it would be a good idea to run a malware scan. Couldn't hurt.
I would suggest suggest you get an HDD along with your SSD as Solid State Drives do slow down as they reach their capacity (http://www.howtogeek.com/165542/why-solid-state-drives-slow-down-as-you-fill-them-up/). There IS PCIe SSD's out there but those can be as expensive as whole computers themselves and I would highly recommend leaving those alone.
Hope this helps.

Gaming performance is not impacted by your harddrive speed. The only thing it might help with would be loading screens. Even if your SSD was slowing down due to capacity issues, that would not force you to have to turn your performance settings down to low. Since you recently opened up your laptop you might want to open it back up again to make sure everything is seeded correctly such as your memory and graphics card. Download Core Temp to track your temps: http://alcpu.com/CoreTemp/ and see if anything is overheating. Test your memory: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/toolsofthetrade/tp/memorytest.htm
