Not anymore. AMD/Mesa are already competitive enough, and are getting better fast. I was using Nvidia myself as well, until around the time Polaris cards came out, and Mesa was bumped to 17.x. That's when things really started to get good with AMD.
And in the overall integration sense, it's like night and day. Nvidia is never going to reach it with their blob approach. Seamless upgrades, proper framebuffer, proper KMS/DRM, no constant screen tearing, Wayland support, GALLIUM_HUD, you name it. I wouldn't go back to Nvidia now (and I do all my gaming on Linux).
