SOLVED! I feel like a noob now.
after pulling the 980 and putting it into another system, verifying the displayports work fine, and putting a 750ti into the x99 and verifying displayport worked there too, I reinserted the 980 into the x99, but didn't screw in the card.., hooked up a displayport cable and voila! its alive! powered down, screwed in card, and no go once again. it seems while screwed in, the card connectors sit high enough my display port cables and adapters just don't make a tight enough connection. I shifted the motherboard down as far as it would go, and screwed everything in, and now displayport seems to be working fine.
never had this issue before using vga or dvi, as the space was tight but it always connected. I should note that I always had the displayport cables 'click' into place (and locked so they cant pull out without using the pressdown button) before when I couldn't get a signal from it.. but I guess clicking in, and 'being fully inserted', are two different things.
So enjoy reading this post, I sure had fun solving this issue (a long night of headaches and worries of broken hardware).
