Watch it in 8k, and tell the results.
For me, in firefox (39.0.3), no video, just some pixelated mess at 8k

In MPC-HC, stuttering audio with 20fps (30fps original), maxing out the CPU (i7-3612qm).

Your question is incorrect. It should be can your Internet handle it? I'll report after testing.

As I have 20MBPS connection I can play in 4k and experience all the wonderful details and sounds in the video...

Played in Laptop and desktop.

Laptop - Chrome - Hitching every few secs.
Desktop - Chrome - Flawless.

Still need to see if I can play it in MPC-HC(HW Accelerated LAV).

But I need a tool to download it, is there a free tool to download 8k? The tool I have is only allowing upto 4k.

YouTube Video Converter and Download - ClipConverter.cc works i think, i used IDM though, gets 40Mbps due to local peering on youtube, still takes about 15-20 seconds initially buffering and loads for 5 secs. :p

haha, yeah, but the main thing on my mind was how stressed the machine was while just playing the video with this resolution and bitrate, and it's not at all a low end machine, guess it'd take some serious time and overhaul before 8k becomes mainstream, heck even 4k monitors are pretty expensive right now. :p

4k loads for me as well without any buffering, the main question targets the 8k. :twisted:
