I could be wrong, but your results are surprising to me, because I was in a similar situation recently. I had a single GTX570 (2.5GB), and adding a Radeon 7750 for GUI only gained me about 1fps. I spoke with Dwaine, who informed me that result made sense.
Do you have optimized display mode turned on? It should always be on for single GPU systems.
For 4K work, it's important to have a lot of GPU memory. So if you have a lesser version of the GTX 570, I'd suggest replacing it with the 2.5GB model to start with.
If you still want a second card, you might check out the Radeon 7750 as well. Single slot, no aux power. I'm not sure how it compares with the GT640 though.
