Best DMA card in 2026: 75T vs 100T (and why not 35T)

The number in a DMA card's name is the size of its FPGA chip: 35T, 75T and 100T are Xilinx Artix-7 chips of different sizes. A bigger chip has room for more complex firmware. Here is how to choose.

What 35T, 75T and 100T mean

The FPGA is the programmable chip on the card, and the firmware is loaded into it. A 35T chip has the least room, a 75T roughly twice as much, and a 100T more again. All three connect over PCIe in a similar way, so the size mostly decides how much firmware fits, not how fast the card is.

Why we sell 75T and 100T cards

Advanced firmware, especially firmware that closely copies a real device for stricter anti-cheats, needs more room than a 35T chip has. We sell 75T and 100T cards, the sizes our firmware tiers are built for.

Our cards and kits

75T or 100T?

A 75T is enough for most buyers. A 100T gives extra room for bigger firmware builds and future updates, for $30 more. If you are not sure, tell us your PC and games in a Discord ticket and we recommend one.

What else you need

  • Firmware for your game's anti-cheat, from $79. See DMA firmware explained.
  • A second PC that runs the software.
  • A license for your game.
  • Optional: a fuser and an input device.

Questions

Is a 35T DMA card enough?

For basic firmware it can work, but many advanced builds do not fit a 35T chip. That is why we only sell 75T and 100T cards.

Does the card brand matter?

Less than the firmware. The chip size decides what fits; the firmware decides how the card presents itself to your PC.

Do I need a card at all?

No. XMA uses your motherboard instead (from $69 a month) and RDMA works over your network (from $10 a day).
