Just to cover my bases, I have tried other monitors and display port cables.  DVI and hdmi connections are fine, display port seems to be the root issue, no matter the cables.
I'm honestly really frustrated.  I've spent almost $1500 on these two items, top of the line, and they aren't working right.

Running more tests tonight, should narrow it down.
 
Found something interesting though.

 
For me this displayed 2 rows, one at 144Hz and one at 72Hz.  The second row looks exactly what happens when the "fuzziness" occurs.  So is it an interlacing issue?  What would cause that and how could it be fixed?

I was having the same problem on a 780ti. on another 144hz 1080p monitor constantly issue. Then I got a XB270HU had problem once within 4 days I had it and then never again. I had tried different DP cables to. This was time I send my 780ti to evga, they send me a 980 and suddenly It was constantly the same problem on the XB270HU. I cancelled my RMA and stuck with my 780ti and havnt had my problem forawhile now I dont know why. 
 
Im soon switching over to a 980ti I hope this problem will not persist.. It seems more than just a cable issue or monitor.

Maybe so, but I can tell you that using a ten foot DP cable with not work correctly.

Thanks for the input everyone.  I'm going to try a few different setups the next few days but I wont have as much time to sit and wait for things to mess up.  I'll post more once I test a few things.  
 
Also for the cable, I am using a cable matters cable from Amazon as well as the primary cable.  Though it is a 10 foot cable.  I read somewhere that there can be signal issues in DP cables over 2 meters... anyone know if there is truth to that?

Yup, your cable is too long. I found this out the hard way as well. Guys, you cannot use a 10 foot DP cable. I tried this on my ROG Swift and could not get 144hz to work with a resolution of 2560x1440. The shop that I bought it at, won't shop there again, charged me 25% restocking fee. However, I went home and used the DP cable that came with the monitor and everything worked great.

Chris,
How long is the DP you are currently using?
Mine is 6 feet long and I'm not sure if that's what's causing me problems...
It seems to be Ok, but every once in awhile this fuzziness appears.
I wonder if the chord is becoming loose when/if the monitor or desk wobbles.
 
 

6ft is fine. Actually, I believe that is the standard length for DP cords, it is the length that comes with monitors. It could also be the port on the card, or monitor.

Op, I own this same monitor and can say the boot order is indeed normal. However I own 980 classifieds and see no issues with the Display Port. With your given details I can't say for sure if it's your card or monitor. The only thing you can do is hook up another monitor to the Display Port and see it has the same issue. My sample of this monitor is excellent and and I am extremely pleased with it, however the Display Port cable it came with was of poor quality and currently using a cable matters 6ft gold plated cable purchased from Amazon.

 
You do know the "gold plated" marketing scheme is false with a digital cable, right? Digital is either received, or not received. It isn't like analog... Monster is notorious for selling myths with their marketing of cables.

I have the exact same problem. It eventually went black then came back on with an "nvidia display driver stopped responding and recovered" message and the blurriness was gone. I did a print-screen to try to get a picture of it, but the picture looks fine now that the screen isn't blurry. Does that mean it isn't an issue with the graphics card at least? Also, I have a 980 ti SC acx 2.0+ w/ backplate and the rog swift.
