Memory Leak/All RAM used when playing BF4

[aneurincerys88]

Hello all,

I just did a big upgrade to my system short a video card:

FX6300 6 core 3.5 Ghz
8 GB 1866 DDR3
Gigabyte UD3P 970 Board
650W Bronze PSU
1TB WD Blue 7200 RPM HDD
Radeon HD 6950 1 GB GDDR5 (Gigabyte)

When I play Battlefield, after a few rounds all of my memory is used and the game goes from 55-60 fps down to low spikes of under 10 fps, and is unplayable, then I have to shutdown and reboot machine, I can play Skyrim, Counter-Strike GO, Borderlands, etc for hours no trouble.

I read about memory leaks, does anyone know what I can do?

Thanks!

There's a known memory leak in Battlefield 4 when using AMD's Mantle API but your HD 6950 doesn't support that. In any case, make sure that you're running the latest AMD Catalyst Omega driver.

I have latest driver, and I turned NDU off, which seems to help for now, i ran command: sc config NDU start= disabled and it seems to be back to normal. I appreciate your help though!

update: after disabling NDU, I was playing last night, ran great for about four matches, then massive FPS drop, couldn't even close game, or restart pc without doing a hard reset from the button. I am still lost on this, I am running the latest drivers for everything on my system. My RAM normally sits at 13% at idle, and 52-54% when gaming on BF4, Skyrim, CS GO, etc. My GPU and CPU Temps are all normal, 27-28 C idle on CPU and 32-35C GPU idle. But as soon as I play more than 1-2 hours on BF4 everything goes to crap. anyone have any ideas?

here is my build again:

AMD FX6300 6 core 3.5 Ghz
8 GB 1866 DDR3
Gigabyte UD3P AMD 970 Chipset Board
650W Bronze PSU
1TB WD Blue 7200 RPM HDD
Radeon HD 6950 1 GB GDDR5 (Gigabyte)
