Safe to leave DMA card installed while playing WoW?

Is it safe to leave my DMA card installed in the PC while playing WoW? Mine doesn't have a killswitch.

Sure, it's fine if you're not using it to write to memory or edit memory. If you're doing bad things with it, expect bad results.

My DMA card is in there without any issues.

Are there any DMA unlockers for wow? I have a DMA card to cheat in other games but never have heard of a WOW DMA cheat.

No, you’ll never see a DMA-based unlocker/internal for WoW, in simple terms, unlockers work by patching the game code in memory, changing its instructions on the fly, whereas DMA cards are really only made for grabbing raw memory dumps, not rewriting code. Even if you somehow wired a DMA card to issue writes, modern operating systems won’t let an untrusted PCIe device poke at RAM without proper, signed drivers, and WoW’s Warden is constantly checking your game’s memory and behaviour for any unexpected patches. On top of that, Blizzard’s servers run heuristics that look for odd inputs or timing patterns, so any DMA would stand out immediately. In short, you can’t sneak code changes into WoW with a DMA without getting your booty clapped by Warden and/or server-sided checks, so it simply isn’t practical to do Unlockers or Internals with DMA, which is why you don't see them. And on top of that, it's really just not scalable.

Thanks for information!
