I don't think your graphics card will tap into the true potential of this monitor. The 980 is a great card but it depending on what you are looking to do on this monitor, it might not be so great. I have the Asus Strix 1070 08G and I primarily use it for gaming. My framerates generally don't drop below 100FPS, and I have played some games that hit the max 144FPS on this monitor, however some intensive games I have to lower the settings to hit good framerates (I have had GTA V dip into the 30s which is painful after seeing 144). If you are a gamer and don't mind playing at lower graphical settings then I recommend this monitor, but then what is the point in having such a nice monitor if you aren't going to see the nice graphics? This might be a nice monitor to have if you plan on upgrading in the future, but by that time it might also be cheaper as well. I don't know if I have answered your question or just opened up more...
