@bwat47 - I believe I have found a temporary solution. Checking "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" combined with Win 8 compatibility mode.
Don't ask me why that should prevent the memory leak but haven't had one in about the last 18hrs of play. Logged a total of around 110hrs ingame as of tonight.
I'm not saying it's a fix but it's certianly held it at bay more. Still up around 12th for Sniper kills in Aussie, now to get back up to 5th...
It worked all fine for me... till yesterday, i dont know why, but i didnt change anything on my system and now iam getting a Windows popup after 15-20min playing BF4... telling me, Windows wants to shutdown BF4 to get memory back... but on task manager total memory is at 4GB, wth?
My Setup is...
Windows 8.1
GTX 770M (yeah its a Laptop... Schenker P503)
i7 4200 4 cores
16GB(ohh yeah... alot, should be enough i thought for the most stuff)
Fixing Problemes and making new ones is really awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its really annoying to get moved to the desktop while you play BF4 and cant avoid it!!!!
bf4.exe
- Compatibility Win 8 ( I have Win 8.1 x64 PRO )
- Run as Administrator
Fix the memory leak for me.

^This is the fix.
A big 'thank you' to EA and Dice for never helping at all, and leaving it up to the community to find out how to fix it themselves.
I always enjoy playing the 'fixing the game' game.

Unfortuantely that does nothing here. Also the scaling change did nothing.
Trying Win 7 mode next. Still extremely frustrated.
It does seem to happen a bit less if I'm playing Domination and not something with tons of vehicles and explosions. Not sure if that's anecdotal, or a trend.
Swapped out the 6xxx card for a 290x. No more problems...except the usual crashes that everyone else gets...sigh.
