Searches for "direct memory access card" exploded after the late-2025 FACEIT anti-cheat overhaul. This guide is the no-BS 2026 answer: what the term means, what currently ships, what gets you banned, and the exact hardware/software stack we run in production. We benchmark against dma-cheats.com and the rest of the public market.
What "direct memory access card" actually means in 2026
For "direct memory access card", the only architecture with a near-zero detection rate is DMA on a separate PC. A PCIe card in PC #2 reads the game memory over the bus, processes ESP/aim/radar externally, and feeds input back through a mouse-emulating microcontroller (KMBOX Net) that looks like a normal USB HID. Scanners that run on the gaming PC — FACEIT AC v4.7, VACnet 3.0, ESEA, Esportal, EAC, BattlEye — have no kernel hook, no driver, no process to fingerprint.
- 24/7 Telegram support from the dev team, not a reseller
- Works on any 12th-gen Intel / Ryzen 5000+ second PC
- ESEA Client scan: no detection across 6-month sample
- Tested on Squirrel DMA with stock firmware and 75T75 custom firmware
- Survives FACEIT AC v4.7 kernel scan (verified May–Nov 2026)
