DMA - Several Questions (CS2)

02/16/2026 15:56 balanobooy#1
Hey guys, I'm relatively new to the whole DMA topic, but I've tried to read as much as possible before asking questions:


General questions:

1. So I'm interested in using DMA ONLY for CS2 – only for VAC & ONLY Cload Radar. My knowledge of cheating isn't perfect, but it seems that DMA cheats are safer from detection, especially if you pay attention to how you play, right? (Except for VAC-Life) -> Yes, I know I could also use simple external ones :) -> I've read a lot of things like "Nowadays, anti-cheating measures require the mandatory activation of vtd/iommu. This means that when you read data over PCIe, it's equivalent to being completely unprotected." -> Is that true? How often are DMA cheats gets patched? With every CS update, similar to normal cheats?
2. If I only want to cheat in CS2 with the DMA card, but play other games with better anti-cheats, what do I need to watch out for? For example, EAC? Just don't run the second computer with the cheats, or are there other dangers/techniques to consider?

Hardware questions:
3. You only need a Fuser if you want to see your visuals on your main computer. What if you ONLY want to run Cload Radar on the other computer? Do you then only need the DMA board and can you run it with that? Or do I need something else?
4. The average recommendation is a 75t, as most firmware is no longer adapted to the 25. Would you agree with that?
5. Most people say that the second computer doesn't matter at all, while others say that you should have a graphics card that is no more than 5 years old. Do you have any guidelines based on your experience?
6. If I play on my main screen with a resolution of 1024x768, does my laptop also have to be set to the same resolution?

Firmware questions:
7. I have often read that the “Ekknods firmware” is sufficient for VAC cheating. Do you have any other recommendations just for VAC?
8. Regarding question 3 on HW – if I only want to run a Cload Radar cheat, can I use cheats that theoretically have many more functions, but I only run that one? -> The question arises because, when searching, more tools offer “everything” and are updated more often/have better support than just Cload Radar tools.


thanks in advance <3

2. You need to watch out from any other anticheat, Its not enough to not turn on your second pc if u exacmple open rust or fortnite og faciet. You need to unplug your dma board from your pc, since the firmware isnt good enough for anything else than vac.

3. You only need a dma board and 2 pc's if you just wanna run a radar on second screen, but a fuser is needed if you want esp onto main monitor, aswell as a kmbox if you want aimbot

4. I know multiple chinese developers that also sell unbranded dma boards 75t for only 125 $ and express shipping is like 25 $ and u get it within 1-2 days. Dont go lower than 75t card

5. You just need to have atleast a 1050 rtx and a i3 rest dosent matter, idk who would say max 5 years, what a clown.

6. no the fuser will rewrite the resolution into your main screen with chosen resolution!

Hope these answars help, if you need any recommending on a firmware or dma card provider feel free to pb me,

There’s no need for DMA to bypass VAC. VAC is more or less dying anyway, so it’s not worth it. DMA won’t protect you from VAC Live.

you're actually an idiotm ofc dma will protect him. You make it sound like dma cheating is even worse than cheating reguarly.

Dont speak when you're speaking bullshit.
