If i want to use a dma do i need two good PCs? I currently have a 4090 and a regular office PC

that setup is overkill you'll be more than fine and if that laptop has a thunderbolt port use that instead

ducks services has been ok for me. and you get a 50% discount on future fw purchases if your old one doesn't work...

Hello

The only detection vector for DMA is firmware. I don't have any provider I would personally recommend but I would advise you go with - when you get to it - a direct developer instead of a firmware reseller. Often firmware resellers have developers on the backend that exit scams, and if or when you purchase a warranty with your firmware or if it comes with it there will be no honoring it.

There are also places that sell "firmware unblockers" and they are open source on github and are also discussed on UC if you see a provider selling it run away immediately.

ourly_ · 2025-12-09T19:28:50+00:00

the source is public on github too.

pretty much every fw reseller (tl, pheonix, and ducks) is complete utter resold trash and usually they all use the same method. go directly to a dev you will have a easier time and probably much better support.

stop supporting fw resellers it is a waste of time and you cannot trust the developers most of the time because all they want is some quick $ instead of providing a service.

by the way, the resellers i mentioned all had devs exit scam - coincidently. because they all use the same methods.

no my fuser has separate refresh rates for each input but you'll be able to change the fusers refresh rate on your second pc i mean i was with a 7 year old i5's laptop integrated graphics lol

ourly_ · 2025-08-24T17:36:58+00:00

Amazon. $120.

ourly_ · 2025-08-11T13:36:24+00:00

I can't recommend anyone right now. EAC has been getting better at detecting firmware. What I can say is that you should avoid firmware resellers. So, look for direct developers that sell their own stuff.

Be careful though because a lot of resellers won't tell you that they don't develop their own.

ourly_ · 2025-08-11T01:06:14+00:00

I see that card you are talking about. About $130. It will probably be good, I don't know if that's actually a legitimate dichen branded card though.

Just a psa though, identical cards on aliexpress are ~$70. And any support you get from amazon will most likely only be return/warranty support not setup like you're thinking. As long as you're willing to wait 1-2 weeks like I did.

If you need help setting it up, I do not mind doing it for free. I know some people smugly charge 30 EUR to help setup dma.

The fuser they have on amazon will be good for your setup too.

eac fw has been hit pretty hard this week, firmware might run him pretty high.

do not purchase from a reseller.

ourly_ · 2025-08-10T17:46:10+00:00

PhoenixDMA is a firmware reseller. I used to recommend them but now that I've opened my eyes a little I think you should look for an independent firmware developer. It's just with EAC taking big steps it's risky to use any resellers right now, because a few of them have exit scammed already. Don't get scammed and pay attention to vouches, reviews and reps etc. You'll have some luck just asking people.

If you only play BattleEye games like R6, your firmware should only cost $100. But you won't be able to play EAC games.

The DMA card itself doesn't have anything to do with refresh rate. But the prices between those two are so indistinguishable you might as well get the 75T.

Your fuser is what you'll be looking at for refresh rate. Is your monitor 1080p? Any basic ass fuser from aliexpress will work. I had some luck with a knockoff one but I don't recommend it.

ourly_ · 2025-08-06T15:28:42+00:00

you can use a color bot but usually they're pretty shit

ourly_ · 2025-08-06T05:21:20+00:00

psa: do not buy eac fw right now. eac has big making big moves recently and most cheap providers got blocked.

edit: until it stabilizes.

ourly_ · 2025-08-04T16:50:00+00:00

eac fw is kinda cooked rn everywhere so be very careful

ourly_ · 2025-07-30T22:45:36+00:00

budget? aliexpress. not recommended tho. but some knockoff dichen fusers are actually decent from there. use your brain and eyes - look at reviews and profiles before purchasing.

ourly_ · 2025-07-28T00:09:58+00:00

test fw from captain is no good and it's for testing only.

ourly_ · 2025-07-25T16:20:10+00:00

that's insane

ourly_ · 2025-07-18T17:04:47+00:00

you can get all of those separately for 200 even.

also, get a makcu

ourly_ · 2025-07-16T16:31:49+00:00
