1 more powerful card is always better.

You would see a benefit, roughly a 50% increase in performance, but I also recommend going with a single powerful card compared to two weaker ones. Dual GPU's doesn't always scale as well for some games, and you run into more driver issues.

You would indeed benefit from an additional GPU, but I don't think is worth it for an entry card like the 260x, you would benefit way more from a single GPU, it should also be more power wise.
You should put your actual GPU on sale, you would get a good price, while its a recent card. Depending on your budget, you could get something much more powerful.
I wouldn't recommend SLI or crossfire with GPUs worth less than 300$, even there...

Cheers
