Is my CPU that limits the power of the 6800 card? Because the results are almost the same.

Yes, both the 6800 and even the 6600xt should perform much better than that. The 1600 was a decent midrange chip on launch but it cant handle anything much more than budget or low-mid range graphics cards nowadays. Also, for it only supports PCIe gen 3 rather than the 4 that these graphics cards used, theoretically halving the bandwidth but it shouldnt really matter and the performance drop is negligable but that is just something else to consider, with storage etc too.

That Ryzen 1600 is your bottleneck, also your resolution is 1920x1080 if you would have gamed at 2560x1440 there would ave been a bigger difference between those two GPUs.
Try running that benchmark at 1440p or 4K if possible, and post the results here.

Yes, I see a significant difference within 1440p resolution scores.

Do not use Furmark, it is irrelevant to any gaming load and puts an unrealistic load on your GPU. Use the free Superposition for DX12 or Valley for DX11 benchmarks. If any part of 3DMark is free (I dunno, paid for it long ago) then use any of their tests as well.

Edit: if 3DMark's Firestrike is free, run it and have a look at the Combined test number. I'll bet it's CPU-limited with the 6600 XT so you'll see almost no improvement with the 6800. But that's their most CPU-limited test, you'll see improvements in other tests.

Try playing your favorite games and see if you can notice a difference/can set the quality higher. Benchmark scores ultimately don't matter, because (at least I'd think so) you bought the card to play games and not to run benchmarks.

Also check what cpus your motherboard supports, even a 5600x would be a huge improvement over the 1600 and it is very cheap these days.

Why you use stress test to gauge performance difference, a stupid Furmark at that? Use your favorite game or at least other benchmark program like Futuremark 3DMark or something similar. Like other say upgrade to 3600 for better gaming performance.

There's also the 5700X3D to nearly max out your AM4 platform. Make sure to pair that with at least 3200 MT/s memory speed for optimal performance.

Depends on his mobo. Using first ge4n ryzen, good chance hes running a 300 series board, and they did not get the latest AGESA the way 400s and later did. 5000 series will run, but the later x4ds can be more sketchy.

OP, what motherboard do you have?

Looks fine, but if anything room temperatures are imperitive for a pc to run well, anything pushing into 85°f+ will start to show affect on a system.

What are your detailed and complete system specs?

Anyways a cpu upgrade might be what is needed to drive the gpu, the Ry7 5800 OEM/5700X might be a viable upgrade.

I think 85C or more is normal for this AMD cards or not?

Both cards simply throttle to the same performance level due to power limits.
Bigger one has ~1600MHz core clock throttle point, while smaller one sits at ~2080MHz.
I not update the post, sorry. I have a soft that restrings the power of the card or the AMD drivers, now not.
