Hi got 2 1080ti ftw3 exactly the same part number but they're both different in appearance and have different components in places is this normal or could one be fake? The 4 bars / pins that come out the end are rounded on one and pointed on the other one and there's differences in some components

Thanks for looking slightly worrying when they both look and feel different so thought I better check kind of messes with my ocd as well!

Register them. https://www.evga.com/support/register.asp If it is a fake/fraud, it should not register properly. If it registers properly as the correct model and part number, you probably don't have to worry about it being a fake.

Could be just different factories.. but yeah.. go register them and that will tell you what's up if they both register just fine.
That's if you bought them from a store.
