I DL a few 8k short films and i cant play them.

I tried one video on youtube and i thought the buffering was my network so i DL a few films. Turns out, its my CPU (i5-3570 @4.5ghz) that is struggling. Im using a 980ti strix & 32gb 2400 ram which through windows 10's pretty great task manager, shows my CPU at 100% and my gpu/ram at around 5-10% load.

Any idea of what part of the cpu is affected whilst playing videos, is it the actual ghz or one of the many other small figures that not many people pay attention to :p
 
Its probably a combination of the time to decode that sheer number of pixels and then resize it down to your screen size as i'm guessing you don't have a 8k screen?

You can try getting dxva decoding working but 8k might still be too much for your card.

What are you using to play the downloaded videos?

Why have you downloaded 8k videos when you dont have an 8k screen to watch them on :p

Im using MPC to view them but tried a few players. I only tried as i stumbled onto them on youtube and was curious when it didn't work. Theoretically you can see the difference between resolutions and quality on monitors without the correct resolution, but after switching between a 4k and a 2k video, time synced, the difference was so small it was almost unnoticeable. I guess at a certain point, you need the correct monitor.
