With late OpenCL drivers the gap has decreased a lot, or the 680 has even become the winner at times - with a really tiny margin. I have never seen the 680 significantly outperform a 580 in any application. Like you, I have seen the opposite but I think that was mostly due to premature drivers that did not handle Kepler well.
