CPU IPC Question

Hello all. I just had a random thought, seeing as all the new AMD CPUs have come out. In a strictly gaming scenario, is the CPU's IPCs really the only spec you need to worry about? (Along with clock speeds, I know) Cuz with GN and everyone's reviews of the new Ryzen 5 CPUs, it seems like that's the case. For example, I have a 7800x and 1080ti in my rig and play at 1440p. (Thought I needed the enthusiast platform to stream and game, but now know I don't and no longer stream. Long story lol) Not upgrading, just wondering. In my case, could you swap the 7800x out for like the new Ryzen 3600x and still just play games perfectly well at 1440p? Seeing as the higher the resolution, the more work is put on the GPU itself. Would a CPU lower than an i7 or Ryzen 7 bottleneck a 1080ti or higher GPU even at 1440p? Just keep wondering about this after the new releases.
