Never say "Never!" ATI was kinda a joke until AMD bought them. But ever since the HD 4000 series AMD has basically been destroying Nvidia in price performance more and more every year. However the GTX 5xx series easily beat the HD 6xxx with the exception of the 6990.
My point is AMD has gotten better over time and Nvidia has kinda lost its game over that same period.
-Physx is a running joke amongst most enthusiasts.
-AMD drivers give substantial increases every release while GTX ones are like a +3-5% sometimes.
-AMD's overclockability is legendary while Nvidia's is almost non-existant at this point.
In 2011 the GTX 580 was the obvious king and anyone who argues with that is a fanboy. However now the 7970 GHz is the champion, and a 20-30% stronger card that is 250% more expensive doesn't change anything but braging rights.
P.S. disolitude I pretty much agree with everything you said except for the 4GB 680 and 3GB 660Ti. Those cards don't have the bandwidth to support that much RAM. In fact benchmarks have shown their performance (Even in SLI) falls off a cliff after 2 GB. Hell the 7970 GHz has the same problem after 4GB so it is just a fact that cards are built to handle the amount of RAM Nvidia/AMD mean for them to have.
