If you look at the whole round of pro benches it does look good just not great. Price wise it holds up very well being it is at the heels of the $2000 Quadro. It is still early yet and the release of the RX version should paint the full picture.Crap I skimmed it.
So not a great professional card or a gamer card. This is the bulldozer of GPUs
I'm not sure about this guy's work. Check out this one: http://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/2979-vega-fe-pro-mode-vs-gaming-mode-whats-amd-doing
That review is absolute horseshit, and there is no mistake there. He purposely left out parts of the Specviewperf 12 benchmarks. There are 8 tests total, but he only showed 5 of the results. And the ones that are left out are the ones where the Pro drivers really make the biggest difference. Some tests are DirectX, so of course there is no big difference.
The two OpenGL tests that really show the difference in drivers are Siemens NX and SolidWorks, which like I said, he didn't show.
Here are benchmarks by others that show massive differences between gaming and pro cards:

The Firepro W5000, which is a cut down 7770 is 3 times faster than a R9 290X in Siemens NX. It's all in the drivers, and what features are enabled, and what are not.
So why did this guy at Gamers Nexus leave out this part of the benchmark? If you run the benchmark, and I have many times, it runs all parts. He left this result out and doesn't given any explanation. Why?

Solidworks. Again, The W5000 is faster than the R9 290X.

All kinds of cards tested. Pro cards are massively better at NX.

quadro cards vs geforce
Turn on edges and the geforce cards fall flat on their face.
Don't get the wrong idea, I'm not really sticking up for AMD or this card, I just get upset when people either do half assed work, or they have some kind of agenda. This guy left out the parts of the test that could show one way or the other if the pro drivers are different from the gaming drivers. It's really suspicious and looks like he had an agenda. I just want the truth. It's not hard. All he had to do was run the benchmark both ways and report ALL results.
AMD has shipped a driver package with a psychological switch: Toggling from “gaming” to “pro” mode results in nothing aside from a black flicker and the obfuscation of WattMan – an already broken option – and Chill, of arguable merit to begin with. This toggle is built to make you feel like the GPU is doing something better, but it’s actually not; the performance is exactly the same between modes, and the only change is that “pro” users cannot see the buggy mess that is WattMan. Perhaps that’s the benefit.
Err you sure it's him who can't read? Why would he even bench VP if he was only talking about games? Its super clear he's not just talking about game mode not having an advantage in games.
