i watch a 4K video it works and i wonder to myself 'can i watch 8k video in 1080p screen"

then i watch a 8K video it works but it stutters i used only intel HD620 Graphics then i switch to my discrete grpahics (NVIDIA GT940MX)

the results are the same stuttering issues but i still can watch 8K video 

Why I can watch a 8K video using only 1080p screen and How did the my screen displays 8K video?

your screen actually cant show the 8k quality, its just that you wouldn't lose any quality while zooming on the picture

Watch this. It explains it good enough.

8k video playback is only supported at 30fps, 4k video playback is supported at 60fps, depending on the connector (displayport vs HDMI), the standard for that connector (HDMI 1.4 vs 2.0) and the supported playback of the hardware you're using (HD620 vs 940m, vs a newer HD630 or GTX 10 series).

What's the point? I mean, it's like making you read a book with multiple languages while you only understand one of them: You only get the message from one language. 1080p monitor can show 8K footage (though your system is likely too slow in decoding it), but it looks 99.99% the same as a 1080p footage.

While it serves as a super sampling method for gaming this makes no difference in video playback, OP is simply wasting processing power and internet bandwidth and should simply watch videos on his native resolution screen which is 1920x1080p, realistically speaking he is not gaining any improvement in visual quality watching it in 4k while he is forcing his hardware through more stressing.

That is not necessarily true.  Though OP may not be gaining anything in resolution, because 4k videos are higher bitrate the displayed result likely has better SNR and fewer compression artifacts when viewed at 1080p than its 1080p counterpart.  The supersampling averaging effect still takes place, but instead of an antialiasing effect it improves SNR.  I know this is especially true for YouTube where they're trying to minimize bandwidth.

while this is true for connector limitations the issue OP is running in with the stutters is most likely based on the missing or too slow hardware acceleration for the video decoding.

Hence the last part regarding hardware limitations with slower and older hardware not ready for the 8k workload :)

It makes a HUGE difference when streaming, that extra bandwidth is everything.

What you see on the screen is still 1080p, just downscaled from 8K.
