Just as a quick refresher for my brain: keeping a game on an SSD does NOT impact the FPS in any way, right? All it does is decrease loading times, right? Textures get loaded into the VRAM during loading times (I think), so using an SSD also doesn't prevent textures from popping into the scene or so, right?

Things are going to get very complicated in the future when it comes to SSDs... games will start needing those speeds, rather than simply benefiting from them.

Assets not loading in time can cause stutters, and that will impact FPS numbers. Right now, games are optimised with HDD speeds in mind, so this isn't a big deal yet, but that will soon change.

In many modern games game assets are loaded during gameplay. Access times of SSD are a fraction of traditional HDD, i would say order of magnitude.

That's true. even an old game like World of Warcraft does that... theres a diference to play this game with an HDD or SSD..

I think WoW was one of the first games which really benefited from SSDs. I recall having very choppy FPS in after entering WotLK Dalaran, which was solved by an SSD upgrade. i7 920 was a beast back then, so CPU wasn't the issue.
