Both Canon 5DS R and Canon 5DS R have Full frame sized 51.0 MP resolution sensors so sensor size and resolution is not a differentiator between these two cameras.
Another similarity between these two cameras is that both Canon 5DS R and Canon 5DS R sensors lack anti-alias (Low-Pass) filters. Removing anti-alias filter increases the sharpness and level of detail but at the same time, it increases the chance of moiré occurring in certain scenes.
Below you can see the 5DS R and 5DS R sensor size comparison.
Canon 5DS R and Canon 5DS R have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.
