AMD drivers are fine, I have never had a driver crash that wasn't due to OCing too far. In fact, I say AMD support is better since they support Virtualized GPU BIOS (
AKA, you can pass an AMD card to a VM, they've been doing this since 2008. nVidia still doesn't.)
12.11, 'nuff said. If you mean fixes for games that just came out to optimize them, they both do that, be it by profiles or actual driver update.
Becasue we totally don't have 3d support for almost any game, and the profiles for them aren't opensource so you can get them day one instead of waiting (either for it to be made, or fixed) either. Oh right, we do and they are.
We can also use a variety of 3D modes, including passive, without having to pay more then we did for the GPU just to use "nvidia 3dvision".
Seriously, $80+ for one set of glasses? I use the ones I got from the movie theater for free with my HP 3d screen I picked up for $200. The software I use would probably work with nVidia too of course, but that would mean that the two would be exactly the same.
The 680 is an awesome card. There's no need to justify it, it runs cooler and uses less power, and it's still neck and neck for #1 with the 7970Ghz performance wise.
