Ultra. Game is very well optimized. My card's fan never spins up, even with other applications running.

It's probably more a case of using quite simple graphics compared to other dx9 titles:

Or a case of being better optimized than its predecessor.

The reason it performs better than TS3 is the relatively small (let's face it, tiny) size of its "zones", where the data that needs to be loaded into RAM/VRAM and requires processing by the CPU/GPU is a fraction of what it was in TS3's open neighborhoods.

They made concessions because the engine couldn't handle what they were throwing at it.

Open world games certainly have a lot of problems.

They can, but not all of them do. GTAV and The Witcher 3, for instance, perform very well even on mid-range systems.

If one is willing to overlook things like save file bloating and scripting errors, yes. There's a lot to be said for loading screens.
