Lensrentals: System MTF comparison, Canon vs Nikon

All three lens used in the test are high quality and the Canon ($2,299) and Nikon ($1,886) lens are pro grade. The only thing that Lensrentals looked at was resolution. There are other factors that affect the "performance" of a lens, e.g., vignetting, barrell distortion, chromatic aberration, edge to edge sharpness. The only way to tell if the D800 improves the performance of all glass is to put some consumer grade lens on the D800 and see how they fare with that 36 mp sensor.
