4K playback on DK2?

I've tried contact the dev of MAXVR but haven't heard back so I thought I would field this question here. I have a very successful 4k render ( 4096x2048 per eye ) Stereoscopic render but have yet to obtain smooth playback at this resolution on the DK2 with MAXVR. I have tried a variety of bitrates with what seems to be the choice codec for this format ( h265) but still have yet to crack this nut. The biggest issue is that i can get relatively smooth 4k playback but the moment I turn my head with the DK2 on the frame rate drops enough to be sub par.

Anyone have any thoughts? There is a very noticeable difference between 2k and 4k so I would love avoid 2k.

the system I am rolling is:
Dual Xeon (E52640@2.5GHz)
Geforce GTX 980
PCIE SSD ( what the video is currently playing off of, I forget the model )
64 GB of RAM

thanks!

    My player will be out next week, pm me your email if you would like to try it out when available (before going live) - (no codecs required all formats and screen types).

    I can't compare really as I only have a gtx650 and am curious to see the performance of my player on a high end machine, but I can get 2k at ~75fps. However I have no idea how well the new cards perform in comparison - can't wait to see though.

    Yes I very much would. I will shoot you a pm.

    I have the capacity to turn out high quality pre rendered 4k+ content for the Oculus my only stopping block is the issue in this thread and it's only an issue because I'm not motivated to do anything less.

    no problem. yes things really do look so nice at that res, so I'm very interested to see if the player will make a difference, or if it's just that's it's built on the latest runtimes (0.6.0.1).
