What is the most taxing settings?

Looks awsome this game but still dips and slows down in performance on my system, what settings can I turn down to improve fps without too much graphical hit?

i7-5930K @ 4.2GHz
16GB DDR4 @ 2333MHz
EVGA GTX 980 Ti Hybrid SLI @ 1481/3900 (whql 355.60)
Samsung PRO 850
Windows 8.1

Playing on ULTRA, no AA no vsync @ 4K.

1. HairWorks is by far the most demanding setting, turn it off and be happy
2. Folliage
3. Shadows

AA has no impact, but since you're playing at 4K I think it is not needed....

This guide shows the effect and performance cost of every graphics setting in the game. It was made with an early version, so the game has probably been optimized since then, but it should still be possible to see which settings are the most expensive.
