I read something about using ATI's own OpenGL SDK, which didn't cause leaks, can anyone tell me more about it?.

EDIT: Ok this question is more likely adressed to a developer, i'd like to get some answers, it might help those ATI users with newer driver here.
Not my case but i'm eager to try that.
Unfortunately, that's a known issue and there's not much we can do about it now Sad
It's been there since Catalyst 9.4, and Dolphin seems to be one of the only OGL apps causing such a leak Huh

here's the issue : http://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/issues/detail?id=852&can=1&q=leak
We could replace the file versions of the latest OpenGL drivers for ATI, with the file version of the Catalyst Drivers 9.3 (OpenGL)? This would work or is it something crazy?

It's not really solving the problem since your RAM is still being eaten up, it's just that it takes longer for it to effect you.

Buying ram, waiting a lot of time for uncertain results... What's so difficult about downgrading drivers?

Newer drivers may have benefits for certain other games that users want. Some of us use our computers for something OTHER than Dolphin too. Tongue

I actually have my Windows 7 install as basically a dedicated Dolphin install and do everything else on my Vista install. Vista install has Catalyst 9.6, Win7 install has 9.3
