As this issue seems to have been resolved with new drivers I'll mark this thread as solved now.

Ok, I've written to AMD as rquested but it's worth pointing out that I have the issue on an R9 290 so it's wider than just the 5XXX and 6XXX series cards. My setup is as follows:
Windows 8.1 Pro
@FX 8320 @ 3.5Ghz
8GB 1600Mhz RAM
MSI R9 290
Cat Control 13.12
@It's sits around 50% memory usage and then WHAM - shoots up to 100% with no applications seemingly utilising the memory space. I can then see my primary SSD drive get hammered at 100% utilisation as the system starts paging horribly. The gameplay (as you might imagine) just starts getting choppy and runs @ around 2fps!
I agree that we need to keep this thread constructive and thanks to carbonic for starting it, but this really isn't good enough. It can be reproduced in a matter of minutes and I fail to see how EA / DICE / AMD can't see this. Oh well, here's to hoping ...
Still, you will need to use RamMap to see what part of the memory the leak is happening to for it to be the same error.
Would you believe, I have not had the problem since I posted on this thread! I have RamMap and TaskMan running in the background waiting and it hasn't happened. It's great news on the one hand, but it happened so regularly before I am slightly confused.
Every time I play I have them up though (I have dual monitors) so will post the results if it happens again.
