Hi I'm currently running 5600x @4.85GHz, and I'm wondering if I change to 5700x3D would I feel the difference? Frametime wise I'm sure yes, but will I suffer on games that require more clock speed? IIRC not all game utilize the v-cache.
Kinda. I up-/sidegraded a 3800XT to a 5700X3D and sometimes I feel the frequency drop even with going to a newer gen. In your case, you also get more cores which probably outweighs the lower clocks for most applications, though.

you are CPU limited, but barely. Short of a platform upgrade or even going to a 5800x3d, you won’t see much improvement. I went from a 5700X to a 5950… But I do alot of serious multi-tasking. (not just gaming)

running 7900xtx with 5600x is self grief, nhf. get x3d cpu.

No not worth it better spent saving for an upgraded GPU.

Do you play on 1440p high? You are not very CPU limited. Your GPU being at 94% would indicate a not very substantial limitation on CPU performance.
You can upgrade if you also play less GPU intensive games or wouldn’t mind slightly lowering graphics settings for a smoother game experience but just judging from the screenshot I wouldn’t really bother.
