As this issue seems to have been resolved with new drivers I'll mark this thread as solved now.
I installed the latest beta driver for my Radeon HD 5850 to see if it would fix the memory leak. I played about 4 games straight with no problem. Then, played another 3 the next day to have the leak occur mid game. I have yet to see if it has extended the time that I can play, but it still happens. So... Crap.
The 6. march patch brought back the memory leak for me. FFS Dice.
This is just unreal... how does such a glaring issue go completely untouched for so long. At first I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt as I'm sure EA probably rushed the game out the door but now I'm pretty convinced that DICE is just incompetent. So happy that some new games are coming out soon that will probably put the whole battlefield series in the rearview
