Driver updates(not fixing things or breaking things), game support, micro stutter, are just a few problems that are very common with ATI Crossfire setups. The Witcher 2 didnt support crossfire for a good month after its release i believe, while it did support SLI from NVIDIA.

There are some 560's with better aftermarket coolers if you are willing to spend the extra money. I believe the Twin Frozer 2 is the best aftermarket cooler.

So if I got this graphics card, would i need a second one to run BC2 and highest settings? and to have a second one, would i need a bridge connector like ATI's do?

No that will DEFINITELY get you max settings with BC2. Not sure about BF3 though...we'll need to wait till it comes out to test that. If you did decide to get a second one (there's no real reason to unless you need it) the cards that are crossfire or SLI capable usually come with a bridge connector. And yes, SLI requires a bridge connector as well.

As far as multiple graphics cards go, yes NVIDIA cards require an SLI bridge. What is your motherboard model? Just because a motherboard supports Crossfire does not mean it will support SLI.

This is my next card...Sapphire Vapor-X Radeon 6870

Just look at these temp differences! They use OCCT to stress-test it...it's a 23C difference from the reference model!
