Picking your first DMA card is a €200–€450 decision. Stark100T is cheaper, Captain DMA is faster. The right answer depends on your motherboard.
Compatibility
Captain DMA 75T works on every modern Intel and AMD board we've tested. Stark100T needs IOMMU disabled or a specific BIOS version on some X670 boards — annoying, fixable.
- Captain 75T — €295, works everywhere, firmware fresh
- Stark100T — €195, fastest read but board-picky
- LeetDMA — €390, future-proof but overkill in 2026
- Squirrel 35T — €145, budget pick, lower read speed
Our pick
Captain DMA 75T for 90% of users. Stark100T if you have a known-compatible board and want to save €100. Skip LeetDMA in 2026 unless you're a developer.
