Gaming at 2K, 144Hz - which graphics card?

So I recently purchased the Acer Predator XB270HU. This is the single most expensive component I've purchased in my life, and with good reason.

This monitor's features that were attractive to me were the 1440p (2K) resolution, 144Hz, Gsync and IPS panel.

What I'd like to know is what is the best graphics card to go with this monitor. I think it is basically impossible for any single card to actually fully max out this monitor on contemporary games. On Counterstrike and TF2 this monitor is a joy to play on, getting the full 144fps to take advantage of my monitor while running at the 2560x1440 resolution thanks to my GTX 970. Though games like Witcher 3, Arkham Knight, Mad Max, etc, it is a struggle to run even 60fps at 1440p.

Should I get a second 970 for SLI or a 980 TI for 1440p gaming? I have a friend who is willing to buy the 970 at nearly full cost, so that's the question I'm wrestling with atm.

Thanks.

NimoStar -- If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface

NimoStar -- Well. The bot didn't come up with any new strategy. It just has superhuman micro. Hard to beat that. I reckon even the simplest dedicated chess engines are unbeatable for humans now.

NimoStar shouted: They were not "Unprepared" that was their fifth loss in a row against the bot. The other replays are also available
that doesn't mean he was prepared. When humans come around with new strategies it often takes weeks until the pros figure out how to shut it down. Oh_Man that's certainly a way more convincing argument for micro being "too good to beat".
