Yes, most of our builds run on an AMD main PC. The one thing AMD changes is Vanguard, the anti-cheat in VALORANT, League of Legends and 2XKO. Our card builds that run Vanguard need Intel, so on AMD you pick one of the two builds made for it.

Which DMA firmware should you buy? has the full table, with people on a device and warranty for each.
If your game is on Vanguard
Two builds run Vanguard on AMD.
- AMD VGK.
Card firmware for your 75T or 100T, with a full AMD IOMMU bypass. It's monthly keys only, because it might get patched, and there are up to 20 people on a device. You're covered for as long as your key is renewed. - RDMA.
No DMA card at all. A driver on your main PC sends its memory over Ethernet to your second PC. It has 25 slots, and we set it up with you in a ticket. It also suits a board that doesn't work with DMA. Getting your network ready for RDMA covers the cables.
If you play VALORANT and Fortnite on AMD and play ranked, RDMA is the one we usually point people to.
If your game is on EAC or one of the others
Advanced, the Premium tiers, Private VGK + EAC and MiTM all run on AMD. For competitive Fortnite, or a competitive EAC game like Rust, Premium T2 or T3 or MiTM are the ones to look at, depending on your budget. Which anti-cheat does my game use? tells you where your game sits.
What your AMD PC needs
- A board from 2020 or newer.
That goes for every build. Not sure what yours is? Find your motherboard and CPU. - A board that gets on with DMA.
On AM5 we suggest an X870 board. B550 is mixed: some work fine and some don't. Best motherboards for DMA has more. - The right BIOS settings.
BIOS settings goes through them. - A free PCIe slot.
Your Main PC says which one to use. RDMA doesn't need one.
Moving to AMD later
If you're moving from Intel to AMD and play VALORANT, Vanguard on AMD means AMD VGK or RDMA, even if your current build runs it on Intel. Check A new main PC before you switch.
Still not sure? The firmware picker asks for your CPU and your games and suggests a build, or ask on the support forum.
