It's starting to become obvious this thing is going to be huge.
Rolls Royce Trent 900 Fan blades.
A380-800 Main body landing gear. Nose gear in the background.
Rolls Royce Trent 900 Engine. Almost 100,000lbs of thrust each, and this thing will have four!

I have heard though that the engines will only be rated to 79,000lbs of thrust each

That's right yes. The engines are "derated" in much the same way as the CFM56-5s and V2500 on the A320 series are.
I expect it'll be handy to have that extra "umph" in there when they expand the model range.
