Looking at the images I'm pretty sure the difference is very noticeable and would be easily visible on a decent size print.
I was quite surprised how much more detail the 5Dsr was resolving.
In fact, comparing original files doesn't tell us much at all, since in the real world the Nikon and Canon (and other) photographer will work the image in post to get to roughly the same point – different color balancing, different curves/contrast, different sharpening... but all with a similar target.
As a person who regularly sees and discusses prints made by very good photographers using all of these systems (including the two compared here and many more) I have seen this to be the case over and over. I have had the opportunity not only to discuss the performance of these two (and other) cameras with many who use them, but I have had the opportunity many times to directly compare all sorts of prints of a variety of subjects from all of them, as well.

It's exactly these sorts of threads and use of language ("Humliating! hahaha!") that helps seed the Brand A vs Brand B silly arguments- instead of letting us engage in real discussions about strengths and weaknesses and what is going to work for each photographer and his or her needs, wants, desires.
Indeed the 5DsR is a 50MP, killer camera. And the D810 is a 36MP, killer camera. And the 5D3 is a 23MP, killer camera...
Indeed. And the linear resolution difference between a 36MP, a 42MP, and a 51MP file is much smaller than most folks imagine, and perhaps even less visible until you get to outlier boundary situations – and even there it is miniscule. Any of these cameras will produce excellent resolution and image quality.
Of all the fine reasons to choose one of them over the others — and any of them could be a fine choice — image resolution or "colors" are way, way, down the list.
