DMA Advice - Purchasing/Setup

02/08/2025 01:30 godsp33ds#1
Looking for some advice on setting up, purchasing, etc. for DMA.

I want to get into legit cheating for tarkov, and I want to do so in a safe way.

I have no interest in tons of features, really just a good radar. No interest in fuser as I don't want ESP/chams, not using any aim features, etc. Really solely purchasing this setup for 2pc radar and that's all.

1. I'm planning to get the ducky's 35t for my dma card, the one that is on sale right now at 200 usd as I've been recommended that a few times. Does he ship this Canada and is this a good card?

2. Also, I want to get a second PC, any budget prebuild recommendations that are easy shipping in canada? I want budget, but I don't want anything crashing/going too budget.

3. How hard is it to setup up a dma once I buy the 2nd pc and the dma? Is it a difficult process? I'm pretty hardware illiterate.

4. Lastly, I'm a val player... I don't want to chair in val at all, but I also do not want a 2pc dma that I use for tarkov to get me banned in val. Any advice on how to best go about that? Do I have to fully unplug the dma everytime I go to play val?

5. update: someone DM'd me this "ducks doesnt have firmware better buy to Ben he was best one try add his discord he might can help you he have 500+ positive feedback on his selling" is this just an ad? let me know thoughts.

1. Ducks cards are good, havent heard of anyone having issues with them

2. Look for a used Dell Optiplex SFF on ebay/facebook marketplace, etc. -- can get one for like 200, and IMO they are superior to Mini-PCS since they have full desktop processors and not the shitty ass low power chips prevalent in Mini PCS.

3. Pretty simple, it's like installing a video card in your PC. You just plug it into an open PCIe slot.

4. Just take it out when you play val. Some cards have killswitches if thats easier for you (need to check with card seller).

5. Careful with DMs a lot of times people soliciting you unasked for are scammers. Ducks is a reputable seller here

Its not an ad its an impersonation attempt, whatever discord username you were sent probably isnt "ben_epvp" [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]
Just ignore any DMs and dont send hundreds of dollars to some random on discord

just get any budget prebuilt with a decent CPU you don’t need much power since it's just running the radar

Yeah just depends how much you want to see the hourglass when booting up, or loading your browser,etc.

A SFF Tower like a Dell Optiplex has a nice mixture of space to performance. You can find them used pretty cheap on eBay or Facebook Marketplace, lots of offices sell them off wholesale when they do PC refreshes.

Some mini pcs are kinda crap, but there's a few that are OK. They predominantly come from China (the ones on Amazon), and may have counterfeit hardware or software.
