Verdict
be quiet! Dark Power 13 1000W
9.3 / 10 Expert Rating
A best-in-class 1000W Titanium-rated ATX unit for an RTX 4080/4090 or RTX 5080/5090-class high-end gaming build, held back only by its premium price.
Seasonic Prime TX-1000
9.2 / 10 Expert Rating
The Prime TX-1000 trades the flagship TX-1600's extreme headroom for a more affordable 1000W Titanium unit that still ships with sleeved cables and Seasonic's 12-year warranty.
