Eh, the whole point of ultra preset always used to be that all optimizations that could negatively affect image quality are off. If you want optimizations, turn the settings down to high preset which usually looks nearly indistinguishable.

100% this. 
High is what the devs intended. Ultra is come back in 5 years with better tech and we'll crank a bunch of settings to slightly improve visuals because we may as well.
