As the title says, unlike my previous imac retina which was limited to 4k in bootcamp, the new imac retina can actually do 5k!!!

Good share, thanks (and proves that the Bootcamp drivers have indeed been updated, adding validity to the benchmarks you and others are doing).
I agreed with the adding validity part right up till the moment I realised OP is running Win 8. All validity gone.
Seriously? It's almost as bad as Vista. Awful OS. 8 is more like alpha 10. UAC was a nightmare for a start.

Can you try in windows if you can easily use 1440P scaling? And if there is any blur or distortion?
OK, please stop if you've nothing helpful to add.

Can you post the driver version for the GPU? I have a suspicion that we'll get those for last year's iMac, too, shortly.
Just set it to 1440p with 100% scaling. It looks great, not quite as crisp as 5k obviously but as good as a pre retina imac
Thanks , now I only worry about the noise heat under normal use like web coding / photoshop
Because the previous had alot of heat issues and fan noise :< They should atleast had the chance duo to skylake to temper with the fan curve.Trust me, you do not need to worry about heat or noise with normal use. I am not even getting noise whilst gaming.Thanks , now I only worry about the noise heat under normal use like web coding / photoshop
Not really, it really depends on your use case. I've used 8/8.1 for 2 years for general office applications and games with zero issues. Millions do the same w/o issue.
