will nvidia's 900 series cards become obsolete as more dx 12 games are rolling out

I have a 980Ti. It is doing pretty well in dx 11 games. But soon there'll be the age of dx 12. I heard nvidia's series 900 got some serious problem with dx 12.

Your gpu supports 12.1 and the number of DX 12 games now is slim so I wouldn't worry too much about it now. People still get along with 700 series cards so its a little soon to worry about the 900 series cards now.

Your card supports the full featureset of DirectX 12. The one feature that people criticize the 900 series about, async compute, is something that adds performance, but it doesn't take away anything. That's a key difference. With your GTX 980 Ti, you don't really need a boost, so it won't matter.

On the flipside, your card can do several DirectX 12_1 features that have yet to be exploited in games (conservative rasterization and raster ordered views). Not all cards have these capabilities, but the GTX 980 Ti does. These have the potential to offer enhanced graphics and realistic lighting in games.

So, the bottom line is it's way too early to declare one architecture better than another. And no way you should be feeling bad about your top-of-the-line graphics card.
