As this issue seems to have been resolved with new drivers I'll mark this thread as solved now.
Ever since I upgraded to 14.7RC, after playing BF4 for some time, I get extreme slowdown. I check my memory, and there it was:

Not sure if it is the latest Catalyst drivers or latest BF4 patch though, both came around the same time. However, I think the driver is to be blamed though, as I played with that patch without this issue.

It's not Catalyst 14.7. I don't know if your running Mantle crossfire but since the last patch july 8 it's been broken, and it has a memory leak. Turning crossfire off fixes it.
I was using 14.6 for a while and it was great on BF4 Mantle crossfire. On the july 8 patch they messed with Mantle crossfire and broke it. I waited for DT hoping they messed with it for the dragons teeth (was hoping) it was the same.
I didn't update to 14.7 till a few days ago till then I already new turning crossfire off fixes the issue and in the patch notes it doesn't mention any fixes for BF4 so I new it wouldn't fix it plus other told me it hasn't.
After updating it's still broken if you try and use Crossfire while running Mantle.
I have a thread below regarding the issue introduced in the July 8 patch.
This is a old thread regarding an old issue. I just thought I'd let you know because it took me ages to work out the work around and just a day or so ago I finally got a response of sorts from DICE not on these forums but on twiter.
A week ago I tweeded BF nothing no reply... a few days later matros... nothing finally after tweeting VincentOK he pinged it to the technicle directer of frosbite at Stockholm who I would imagine is his boss Johan Andersson, so I am finnaly calm knowing and hoping it will soon be fixed.
not really
im running 14.7 RC Mantle Crossfired at over 70/140+ FPS on Ultra, depends on map. like Locker and Metro will go above 140 FPS, the only negative i get is Heat generated from 2 GPU's so i have to Cool Better
