That second PC reads game data in real time and processes it entirely outside the main PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does a DMA setup work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A DMA setup relies on <strong>two PCs<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The first PC (Primary PC)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Runs the game as normal. This is your main PC that connects to the internet and that you play on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The second PC (Secondary PC or Mini PC)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Receives data from the DMA card and processes it. This PC is completely separate and doesn't connect to the game directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The DMA card (PCIe Card)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The link between the two PCs. It goes into a PCIe slot in the first PC and sends data to the second PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The firmware<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The software that defines the card to the PC. Specialized firmware makes the card appear as a regular device instead of a DMA card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is a DMA setup different from regular software?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Criteria<\/th><th>Regular software<\/th><th>DMA setup<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Where it runs<\/td><td>Inside the main PC<\/td><td>Separate PC<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Performance impact<\/td><td>Slows the PC down<\/td><td>No impact on the main PC<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Stability<\/td><td>Inconsistent<\/td><td>Stable<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What components do you need for a DMA setup?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. DMA card (PCIe Card)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The core of the setup. Options available in Saudi Arabia include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Captain DMA 75T<\/strong> \u2014 ideal for beginners, high stability<\/li><li><strong>DMA 100T<\/strong> \u2014 for pros, the highest performance on the market<\/li><li><strong>Heino 1.2 Elite<\/strong> \u2014 a complete option with exceptional performance<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Firmware<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It must be compatible with the anti-cheat system of the game you play:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>EAC Bypass Firmware<\/strong> \u2014 for games that use EasyAntiCheat<\/li><li><strong>All-In-One Firmware<\/strong> \u2014 supports most anti-cheat systems<\/li><li><strong>Slotted Firmware<\/strong> \u2014 for maximum protection with support for all systems<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Second PC (Secondary PC)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can use a <strong>Mini PC<\/strong> that is small and inexpensive. What matters is that it can run the required software smoothly \u2014 a quad-core processor and 8GB of memory are enough to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Mouse emulator (optional)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such as <strong>Makcu<\/strong> \u2014 emulates mouse input on the second PC for better accuracy and control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which one is right for you? \u2014 Quick buying guide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Beginner?<\/strong> Start with the Prime Bundle or the Basic DMA Bundle \u2014 everything you need in one bundle<\/li><li><strong>Play Valorant?<\/strong> Captain DMA 75T with the dedicated Valorant Firmware<\/li><li><strong>Play Call of Duty?<\/strong> COD Ultimate Bundle \u2014 set up specifically for the game<\/li><li><strong>A pro who wants maximum performance?<\/strong> DMA 100T or the Godlike Elite Bundle<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is a DMA setup hard?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Setup takes some time the first time, but it has become much simpler with newer products. Most ready-to-play bundles come with clear instructions and direct tech support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does DMA work with every game?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It works with most popular competitive games. The right firmware is the key \u2014 make sure you choose firmware that's compatible with your game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which second PC do you recommend?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Mini PC we carry is one of the best options \u2014 compact, takes up no space, and powerful enough for any use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start your setup now with DMA Saudi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At <strong>DMA Saudi<\/strong> we have everything you need \u2014 from DMA cards and firmware to supporting accessories \u2014 with fast shipping within Saudi Arabia and full tech support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-black-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/shop\/\">Shop now<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn about DMA technology and how to use it to raise your performance in competitive games.
