There is always a bottleneck, or... more properly some limiting factor.
In this case you will be getting a nice graphics upgrade .
In other words, there is no way you will perform worse. Graphics limited games will fly, and if you are currently cpu limited, in some games, that will not change

And what if bf4 has the same requirements as crysis 3, is it gonna bottleneck?

Im not, thank you man!
 
crossfire is sh!t, and your single gtx570 will run games smoother. Read up on recent FCAT and frame metering reviews that show crossfire is often not any better than a single card, and can sometimes make things worse, increasing stuttering and uneven frame delivery to the monitor. Sell them and get a good single card, dont waste your money on crossfire.
