Worth upgrading from 1700X to 3700X?

Afternoon folks,

Looking for an honest appraisal here from people who have hopefully done similar. I've had my 1700X since release paired with a 1080ti on a Crosshair 6 Hero, all running at stock. I'm getting the upgrade itch and the 3700X is tempting me. I game at 1440p which should be completely GPU limited, but haven't there been huge architecture improvements from the 1700x to the 3700x which should give me a decent increase in speeds?

I know the Zen 3 chips are coming out later in the year, but I'm not sure I can be bothered with a full upgrade, and the 3700x shouldn't bottleneck me by any huge amount at 1440p should it? Meaning it won't be that important to upgrade again this year or next?

Thanks for any advice!
