Ok, I am currently running X99 Rampage V Extreme with a 5960x and 16G of GSkill Ripjaw 3000 Ram I am also running 2 R9 290x CF. Here is the problem. When I play BF4 with one card the frame rates seem to be the same with 2 cards? However I noticed my ram usage creeping up.... 46 then when i look again 58 the 69 all the way up until 98%?!? Does anyone understand why this could be happening? It only happens in BF4 (That I've noticed)
I just started running with one card but I hate having to change my settings back and forth.
Any idea would be great... I assume its something they have done with the latest patch but I though I would throw it out there just the same.
Thanks for any replies.

Does it happen in all all your games or just battlefield. No reason for profanity on the forums :)

BF4 might have memory leaks with DDR4 addressing or some BS.

DDR4 is new, bf4 might not like it. If its only bf4 its unlikely to be a hardware issue so thats good.

BF4 has a known memory leak when the Mantle rendering API is used. Switch to Direct3D and restart the game.

Mantle seems to be the issue. Good Answer!
