As this issue seems to have been resolved with new drivers I'll mark this thread as solved now.
Release notes for 13.12 say "Resolves intermittent crashes experienced with Battlefield 4 on Windows 8 based systems". I have reverted back to Windows 7 so I can't check if this is a fix for the memory leak. Can someone please report about this. I would like to upgrade to Windows 8 again but with the memory leak still there it's just not gonna happen.

Catalyst 13.11 beta8 does refer to that too

I guess this 13.12 is nothing new, just beta that tested and get WHQL certified.
"AMD Catalyst 13.12 WHQL for Windows and Linux drivers are now available - basically they're the WHQL version of the 13.11 Beta V9.5 drivers"
There's absolutely nothing new in them so don't get your hopes up for nothing. 😉
This is getting to the point that people that really like the game are buying new GPUs (is that the plan all along AMD?). Insane.

I really like the game and I am seriously considering that, but I find this situation ridiculous. Performance-wise, I don't see any reason to upgrade! I'm just really frustrated since I can't play BF4 and every update makes things worse! Right now, I can't even play for 10 minutes! I just tried... for the second day in a row, I can't stay even 10 minutes in the game!
