Programs like Premiere or After Effects have a much smaller performance gap between gaming cards and application cards.
That said, a graphics card’s hardware resources, especially its shader domain, are not the main factor that determines its performance in professional CAD/CAM applications. Driver optimizations and balanced specs are far more important, which is why you will typically see Quadro's do much better than gaming GPUs in application work. The caveat being, that the application work has to be taxing enough to see a major difference between the two card types.
