There's a couple issues here to be sorted out...
When using either my Radeon R9 290 or 290x, I encounter some pretty drastic frame rate dips in multi-player. I always play the game maxed out, 16x16 texture packs, OptiFine installed, but lowering settings doesn't seem to have an effect. For example, I'll be playing Shotbow SMASH (us.shotbow.net) and I'll drop from 140 FPS to 20 in less than a tenth of a second (discovered through Fraps benchmark). Nothing I've done has been able to solve this issue.
Secondly, on the same GPUs, and even an old GTX 560 Ti, single-player (strangely enough) will lag as if I had lost connection to a server. After it "crashes," so to speak, the game will even give me the "Lost connection to server"-esque message. In case it wasn't clear enough (and to put it in layman's terms), everything in the game but me will freeze, blocks I break won't drop, and I can still move. That kind of lag.

Again, no, me being used as a bot isn't even on the table. Also, the bootable drive with Windows 8.1's installation ISO wasn't pirated, but the activation key was. My installation is perfectly sound.
I didn't say you were being used as a bot. As I said, open task manager and see if a background program is eating your resources.....
In which case, I wasn't talking to you.

It could be your CPU? See if it is overheating, and maybe thermal throttling?
Also, have you got the newest updates for Windows?

In my rig I've got a H100i hooked up to the CPU, and (on both the 290, and 290x) an NZXT Kraken G10+X40 (http://www.legitreviews.com/nzxt-kraken ... 90x_130344) so heat wouldn't be a problem. Plus, I can run Crysis 3 just fine. Windows has all updates installed.

Okay, in that case, could it be a corrupt Windows? Try doing Windows repair maybe?

Already tried Windows Repair. Nothing.

I'm not being used as a bot, and my Windows installation is fine. Any time someone wants to provide some actual help would be great.

Ahh...piracy. That might be why, Windows kicking in, slowing your pc deliberately to tell you that you did something illegal. If you can't afford Windows, download and install Lubuntu.
I don't think that's how it works.
Pirated versions are modified, and may come installed with nasty and hard-to-remove malware. (Viruses, rootkits, etc.)coolfunfunfunOpen taskmanager (ctrl+alt+del) and look at the background tasks. I had a similar issue, but I resolved it by closing high intensity programs.
Possibly you are being used as a bot in DDoS.
Have you recently installed any programs? If so, look for LOIC. Delete it.
What may be happening is your computer is being sabotaged to to DDoS.
You seem to be fixated on the idea that OP's computer is a part of a botnet.
OP, as coolfunfunfun said, open task manager and go to details/processes and see if you can find any resource intensive programs.

Not the way I do mine, there is no malware, rootkits or viruses on the way I do it.

And is that relevant?

I really doubt either of those things are issues since my IP address is dynamic (home-based office), and I have 12Gb of RAM (6 allocated to Minecraft for use with 512x texture packs). Thanks anyway.

Could honestly be a number of things. Could be Windows being corrupt, could be Java, could be drivers. I'd reinstall Java, and see if that helps, and if it doesn't, then maybe do a fresh install of Windows?

Well, on the build in question, I am running a "pirated" (ripped from the disc, illegally activated) version of Windows 8.1. I've already tried installing drivers but could give it a second look. When I installed Java, it was through Ninite (http://www.ninite.com), so its quite possibly the problem. I'll edit this reply with what I found.
EDIT
Java was re-installed. The dips are definitely less drastic, but its still there. I guess I'll just have to live with it for the time being.

...Maybe if that was even a possibility.
