New to DMA - Speed fail

05/14/2025 20:09 TalYT#1
Recently got my hands on a DMA (CaptainDMA 75TV3.0) from Ebay.

After changing the BIOS Settings on the Main PC (AMD - MSI B450):
- Disabled Safe Boot
- Disabled IOMMU
- Disabled SVM
(Could not find any other Virtualization settings, or any Core Isolation in Windows 10 settings.)

I've flashed the device with the ekknod firmware as well as another version from a seller, and I've installed the necessary drivers on my second PC. However, I'm having trouble getting past 30MB/s and a score of 3900 on the lones DMA test, which shows as a failure.

I have tried different cables and ports all seem to stop at that speed.

Am I missing some settings? Or is the DMA Board bad or fake?

If anyone could help would be much appreciated.

Could be faulty Dma board as Ekknod FW has usually 200mb/s excellent speed. Or your Motherboard doesn't like Dma.

You seem to have done all correctly so yeah.

I am thinking faulty likely why the seller sold it in the first place.

Also do you think its possible to use any cheats with that speed? Only need something like UAV pings, no need of full ESP etc.

Was the card used? If so, you probably ended up with a burned / defective one.

whats the point of DMA. You can still get shadowed. You can still get permed if you get manual reviewed isn't. I thought it was to cheat in tournaments that do checks or something

Otherwise, it's just the same as running a cheat normally. Like if the cheat itself gets DTC then you still get banned any other way any cheat does. But DMA also has other variables like FW if that gets DTC then u can get banned to.

From what I see, when people get banned, it's cause the cheat gets DTC. So nothing is different in the way a DMA cheat can get DTC. You're just running it in a way they can't actually 'scan' you and see if you have anything instsalled.

But if they can scan you, why dont they just scan anyone who gets reported? How does DMA avoid you getting banned?

COD doesn't do any Firmware checks, game is barely alive look at the numbers. Your Dma is masked as the firmware it has installed. Lets say you have an fully Emulated Multimedia Device FW , the same device you would buy off Amazon. They would need to start blocking the device which Cod never will do. Imagine they block legit devices people purchased not even to talk of perm banning people lol.
DMA card shows as legit device in device manager same as you would have an real wifi card,soundcard,serialport installed.

The only Anticheats you need really good FW is VGK & Faceit. They block real devices too they dont care.

And usually you should have strong accounts anyways before using Dma. I personally never get shadowed and i'm dropping 20+ almost every match.
(Lvl 1000 also). The only people who get banned with DMA are retards who rage in ranked. Otherwise its nearly impossible to get banned in COD with Dma.

Some people just want as much safety as possible and don't mind spending few hundred dollars to keep their account safe when they earn thousands a month.

If you don't have the money to buy DMA, just don't buy it, but if you do have the money and you care about your account, then buy it, that's the harsh reality.
