If you have the money go for it.
It almost doubles the performance in most games. ( depends maybe also a bit on your processor and the number of ram you have now )
See for yourself ; http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_560_Ti_SLI/
Also make sure you have enough power from your PSU, i guess minimal 750 W for sli but it could be even more, i don't use sli. ( can't afford it ) You can figure out here how much you need ; http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp
Get a decent psu if needed, not a cheap one, it needs a stable, preferably single, rail with enough amps.

Are you talking about buying another 560 ti for $250 and going SLI, or are you talking about buying a GTX 250 to use as a dedicated physx card?

SLI is worth it if you have the monitor setup to take advantage, buying a dedicated physx card is not unless you are seriously addicted to one of the few games that uses hardware physx.

Sorry, i was not very clear.

The thing is, I got a 560TI and a 250GT(X?). ATM I only uses the 560TI, and I was wondering if I somehow was able to increase the performance of my system useing a 250GT. But think i all ready got my answer

There are a few games that it will dramatically improve performance in, Mafia 2 and Batman AA the the only 2 I can think of right now, but for the most part it would just be sitting there using power and not doing anything.
