Hi i have a pc with an old asus gtx 580 direct cu is it worth the upgrade to the 1050 ti or is that just moneywaste and should i just keep my 580

No the upgrade is good. Better drivers and specs and also lower power comsumption. Go for it.

There's a video on youtube with a gtx 680 ti and 1050 ti and they have almost the same fps so 1050ti should outperform 580. Plus 580 has a max power of 244 vs 70 of 1050 ti.

Your CPU is...? What's the purpose of this upgrade? Depending on your needs and CPU, it could be a waste of money to buy a new card. OR it could be a great upgrade.

depends on your complete specs

if you specs are good then a 1050 ti is an upgrade, not a very good one though similar performance

you want something like a rx 480, gtx 970 or gtx 1060 to notice a good difference

Take a look at this list of graphics cards ranked by performance: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html

You'll notice that the GTX 580 and the 1050 Ti are in the same performance tier. That means you won't see much improvement in performance.

I 'upgraded' from a GTX 670 to a 1050 Ti and barely noticed the difference. Still, there are a couple of reasons to consider a 1050 Ti. One is power consumption; the 1050 Ti could potentially save you a lot of money on your power bill over a year or three. Second is framebuffer; the 1050 Ti has 4GB compared to the 1.5GB in your 580. That means that you can load higher resolution textures at little cost in performance and improve visual quality.

All in all, I'd say pass on the 1050 Ti and save up for a 1060 or better.
