>First of all, it’s surprising that AMD isn’t comparing their Vega Frontier Edition to the Quadro P6000. The Quadro P6000 is essentially the same specifications as the Titan Xp but configured for the Professional market. The AMD Radeon Vega Frontier edition aims the same professional market but due to some reasons, AMD decided to pit it up against a NVIDIA enthusiast gaming solution. There’s a difference of drivers on both NVIDIA Quadro P6000 and Titan Xp cards. The Quadro series drivers are specifically designed to handle pro workloads which AMD has also optimized their drivers for the Frontier Edition card as it’s not a gaming focused product.
>If we take a look at some benchmarks posted by PCPerspective a while ago, the Quadro P5000 (a GTX 1080 equivalent card) manages to score 152.92 in Catia. Vega scores 135.75 in comparison which is near the P4000, that is a cut down GP104 SKU. In Solidworks test, the Quadro P5000 scores 168.11 versus 114.88 on Vega. The score is even lower than Quadro P2000 which is based on a cut down GP106 die.
>As you can see, the Quadro cards have the best optimization on pro workloads so AMD once again picked the best case scenario for them by comparing their best pro card to NVIDIA’s best non-quadro card

Sadly, Vega will never beat Pascal
