I would say it's a few things at once. GPUs now have pretty much general purpose compute, and they're typically memory-bandwidth bound more than compute bound. So - the paper & article briefly talk about - for example temporal

Very interesting article. Some humble thoughts: The discussion on the SSAO suggests that the game's system uses GTAO - lots of features suggest at the least heavy inspiration from the technique (see "Practical Realtime Strategies
