Hello,
i have asus crosshair formula v mother board, cpu 1055t amd and graphic card 580 gtx (gtx 580 card is a.5 gb. if i use one more card gtx 580 on same motherboard then my graphic value will increase or not? if increase then it will be 3gb or nor?)
 
are you asking if you have a 1.5 gb card and then add another 1.5gb card you get 3gb of vram?. if so then no you will not get 3gb of vram. You need either a GTX 580 3gb version for 3gb of vram. but before you do that. i would suggest getting a 680. if your in need of more graphics performance two 580's beat a 680. but you would still have more vram for 1 monitor if you went 680

The fast answer is no. Because when you put 2 cards in Crossfire or SLI, they will work together, but they wont stack the total VRam. I mean, if you put 2 cards of 1.5GB each, you will still getting 1.5GB VRam.
