He was saying Titan X vs Vega FE for productivity, that the Titan X doesn't have full fledged productivity drivers... (or at least DP performance is hampered somehow to 1/32).
So that is kinda a niche nVidia ran away from. Maybe Vega FE will force nVidia to put out a prosumer card? They neutered the Titan line after the first one for productivity and basically made it into "get the top end sooner" premium fee. (which sucks since it kills the resell value)
Its not about DP. Nvidia split their GPU stack since Kepler. Only one chip has high rate DP. GP100 now, GK110 and GK210 previously.
The quadro and (ex) firepro line dont necessarily offer DP, only application certification and a more stable driver set, and ECC.
If Vega is running pro drivers, then comparing it to Titan X is just dumb.
