Modified Windows 8.1 (Windows 9) with RTX 2080 Ti (with DP to HDMI 2.1 adapter for 4K LG OLED C1) or Windows 7 with RTX 3060 and possible upgrade to RTX 3080\3090 (Ti) in the future?

Goal: Play some games and movies on 4K LG OLED C1.

Which do you already have? if you have a 2080ti it really doesnt make sense to get a 3080+ card. IF  you have a 3060, by the time the future upgrade comes around 4000/5000 series will be out and perform much better

The 2080 ti is a significantly stronger card than the 3060.

 

I am not going to comment on obsolete operating systems. 

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

I don't really understand the OS thing... Windows 8.1 is deprecated, almost EOL; Windows 7 is outright dangerous, unless you're using it for a strictly offline retro machine. Why wouldn't you be able to choose your OS with whichever hardware? Am I missing something?
About the graphics cards, 2080 Ti > 3060. I wouldn't even take into account possible future upgrades; with how the market is going, and will be going in the future, when you'll need an upgrade you'll see what's available. It's worthless to consider possible alternative futures, when even the present is hypothetical availabilities.
