Creativity is usually defined as an ability to apply knowledge accumulated in another fields. So, it is not about how much IQ points you have, but how you use your mind. More different fields mastered - more chances for some creative breakthrough.
Of course, higher IQ is an advantage (think about learning efficiency), everything else being equal. It is like in sports - some people are just more coordinated, less clumsy, so, they are progressing quickly in almost every discipline.
