Okay we would need to go through some basic workarounds to check if that helps or if we need to dig in deeper in your issue:
- Setting In-game audio to headphones.
- Update Direct X and Microsoft .NET Framework
- Disabling NVIDIA High Definition Audio
- Run as administrator (for BF4 and BF4x86). You could also try changing security permissions on the origin games folder giving users full control instead of just read
- Nvidia Control Panel > Configure Surround > PhysX > PhysX settings > select your graphics card. Then Origin > Repair Install
- Microsoft Visual C++ x64 and x86 versions of 2010 and 2012 uninstall. Reinstall with Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 3
- Lowering settings from ultra/high to medium in x64 or low in x86 fixes the issue, always happening when Vram fills up to about 1.6 GB of VRAM.DirectX updates/fixes mentioned did not help. (Important if the issue is getting worse over time)
Please keep us updated.

Thanks for the reply, I did everything you said and I still have the same spikes. I even did a clean install of windows 8.1, and tried all of the things you said, and still no joy.
I am running the following system:
Asus 120 full hd monitor
Intel i72600k oc 4.4ghz with a mugen 2, with 2 fans in push pull, temps are excelent.
Corsair ddr3 1600mhz 8Gb 4x2gb sticks
Crucial M4 SSD
Evga Nvidia gtx 690 no overclock, and temps are also good
I have this installed in a Coolermaster Cosmos 2, with very good airflow.
Os Windows 8.1 clean installation fully updated
Nvidia drivers 335.23
Audio realtek 889 drivers 6.0.1.7023
Antivirus - windows security essentials
I have tried older Nvidia drivers, and beta drivers, I have disabled all programs running in the background, I have disabled my onboard realtek soundcard, I have disables my cpu overclock, I am running high performance profile in windows energy management. I have enabled high performance, thread optimizationm, vsync of, render 1 frame ahead, single screen performance, in Nvidia controll pannel, Of course I also tried it without all these options.
I am running the game in 1920 by 1080 120hz I also tried 60hz with vsyn enabled and disabled, I tried the lowest possible settings and the highest, with both scalling and vsync on and of, I tried a mix of low medium ultra, the GTX690 has 2gb vram, and when running Ultra it is very close to 100% full, but on lower settings I have enough vram, and I should not have these weird spikes. I also tried this with the x86 version, and I am running them as administrator.
Again when BF4 came out I could play this game with every setting on ultra with 120% scalling on 1920 by 1080, Anti anti aliasing max with a fov of 90 and I could play the game between 60 and 100+ fps, with some fps drops, but I did not have these spikes/freezes when I am being shot at. Something changed 3 patches ago, and now I really don't enjoy this game. I can run across the map with no problems what so ever, running perfectly smooth, but when I am being shot, or a explosion goes of near me, it freezes for just a milisecond, so I cannot react fast enough to shoot back.

Have you already checked our big sticky from Carbonic regarding the memory leak issue: http://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-4/INFO-REQUEST-NP-Pool-Memoryleak-PC-only-updated-March-31/td-p/1951455
Your issue does not exactly sounds like the memory leak problem but there might be some workarounds in this topic which may help to solve your issue.
Cheers
