Say I have a 6 core Ryzen 1080 ti ddr4 and ssds is the ssd still the bottleneck when loading stuff I.e. games ?

Storage is always the bottleneck when loading stuff. Unless your CPU is a peanut.
Bottleneck isn't really the proper word though.

Loading times are subject to the limitations of the storage medium/interface, that's a limitation, not a bottleneck.
I'm pretty sure the screens before the menu at the start of the GTAV are there for a set amount of time and wouldn't go by quicker however fast your storage is. I think the startup in some other games have likewise things going on.

Exactly. Some games you wont see faster load times as they have set times when they load. Others like WoW you will see a big difference in load times being installed on an ssd. Only realised this when i moved it onto normal hd. Huge load time difference.
