be quiet! Dark Power 13 1000W

The Dark Power 13 1000W carries an 80 PLUS Titanium certification and a Cybenetics Titanium efficiency / A++ noise rating, translating to consistently high real-world efficiency at typical 50% load and low fan noise thanks to its 135mm Silent Wings, fluid dynamic bearing. It uses a be quiet! (in-house) platform with Japanese-made capacitors throughout for long-term reliability under sustained load.

Connector layout is 1x 24-pin ATX, 2x EPS 4+4, 1x 12V-2x6 (600W), 4x PCIe 6+2-pin, 8x SATA, 3x Molex. With 1 native 12V-2x6 connector(s) rated to deliver up to 600W to a single GPU, there's no need for a 4x8-pin-to-12VHPWR adapter on current-generation flagship cards. Cabling is fully modular, using standard flat or ribbon cables, with a single +12V rail design that simplifies load balancing across connectors.

Against the Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 850W (Thermaltake's native-12VHPWR 850W Gold unit), the be quiet! Dark Power 13 1000W matches its wattage class but differs on connector generation and OEM platform, making the choice mostly about brand ecosystem, warranty length (10 years here), and whether native 12V-2x6 connectors matter for your GPU. Compared with the Cooler Master V Platinum 3000 (Cooler Master's 3000W Platinum workstation monster), the Dark Power 13 1000W sits in the high-end/multi-GPU bracket at 1000W, so the decision usually comes down to matching wattage headroom to your actual GPU/CPU combo rather than one being categorically better.
