How much more detail from the Fujifilm GFX100S vs the 45-megapixel Nikon D850 DSLR?

And how well do things work out for the GFX100S with its cheapest lens competing with the the about $3990 Zeiss Otus 55/1.4 APO-Distagon. Surely the Otus ought to pull half a rabbit out of the hat? Because you’re not going to find a better 50mm lens for the Nikon D850.
