According to OP, you are looking for a landscape camera, you will need something that will give you pretty much all the detail you want in a picture.
But if you go do more research on Nikon you will find out that the Nikon D800E completely dominates the mk3 with landscape and portrait shots and night shots, absolutely flawless with little to no noise compared to the mk3, just think a d800e with 36MP vs the 22MP mk3, which one would perform better? Don't forget that the d800e and the mk3 almost cost the same.
Ditch the Canon and get the Nikon D800e with some precious glass, you won't get the most out of these cameras without getting an expensive lens, so you also need to put that into consideration aswell, a great camera needs a greater lens. You will find lenses which are double the price of your camera so don't be shocked about that.

I'm not sure what kind of information you're getting here. The 6D and 5D3 are very very similar in IQ range. The 5d3 is also better in low natural light than the d800 is, due to the lower mp count. The D800e outresolves the canons for fine detail, but does not perform better in low light.

If video is what you want here, a D800 > D800e (no AA filter on the e model means significant aliasing and moire). The same is also true for video, the d800 outresolves the 5d3 but the 5d3 is better when light is lacking (the differences are close, but the 5d3 slightly edges it out especially in post, see philip bloom's video compare)
Their prices are comparable, but it is rare that you will buy a lens that is double in cost to a 3k camera body outside of high end telephoto primes.
In any case the OP's original question was 6D or 5D3 for the money, which indicates an investment in canon glass and a conflict whether to buy a 6D or 5D3 which means those 3-12k lenses are probably out of the question as is switching to Nikon.
