For sure.  I had an i7-6700k paired with a 1080 Ti.  Upgraded to 10700k and it doubled my framerate in some games.  And in others that were previously unplayable made them run extremely well.  Battlefront 2 was one example of that

Edit:  This was at 1080p and most of that performance improvement would’ve come from much better IPC rather than increased core count

I have the same setup as your OG rig. I may have to look at a new CPU!
