It is the full 8k helium sensor in 25fps in 13:1. Normally we record in 60fps 8k.
So if the CPU can handle half res it will automatically handle full res? How does that work? (just curious)
So if I had 2x1080 Ti cards would it playback i realtime?
I have another card on another computer (that has 2x10 3.1GHz core) that I could grab.
My plan was to get a 2080 GTX and use together with the 1080 Ti on this machine.

The CPU's handle the decrypt/decode/decompress of the .R3D so it doesn't matter if it is full, 1/2 or 1/4 res. The GPU handles the de-bayer process, here it does matter what the resolution and the quality is that you want to display. 2x 1080ti's should be able to display around 40 fps in 8k 444 at maximum quality (when you lower the quality and/or the resolution, 60 fps is easy).
Just don't edit on full res, highest quality settings.
RTX2080 only has 8 GByte so it is not suited for 8k(you will run out of memory all the time).
2 VEGA FE's would be the best option (when you can still get them), they have 16 GB of memory and when those are full, it swaps it to system memory. An other good option is the WX9100 but this one costs around 1500 pound each (or $1400).
