League of Legends DMA: firmware for Riot Vanguard

League of Legends runs Riot Vanguard. Which DMA firmware runs it, what works on an AMD PC, IOMMU, bans and what it costs.
PostPublished · member · 3 reads

League of Legends runs Riot Vanguard, the same anti-cheat as VALORANT and 2XKO, so a firmware made for one covers all three. Private and MiTM are made for Vanguard, our card firmware runs it on Intel, and RDMA runs it with no DMA card. Advanced and the Premium tiers don't support Vanguard, so don't get them for League.

Firmware for Vanguard

Private VGK only$250Intel 11th gen or newerNoNo limit2 months
Private VGK + EAC$350Intel 11th gen or newer for VanguardYesUp to 202 months
MiTM$180 a month, plus a $100 entrance fee on your first keyIntel 11th gen or newer for VanguardYesOnly youWhile your key is renewed
RDMA$180 a monthAMD or Intel, no DMA cardYesNo card. 25 slots in allWhile your key is renewed

All but RDMA run on a 75T or 100T card, like our GODLIKE 100T at $125.

  • Private VGK only, if you want to pay once and don't need EAC.
    You share its device with other customers, and your board has to be 2020 or newer.
  • Private VGK + EAC, if you want to pay once for both.
    Slots are limited. On AMD it still runs your EAC games, but not Vanguard.
  • MiTM, if you want Vanguard and EAC on your own device.
    A key is $180 for one month, $450 for three or $700 for six, and the $100 entrance fee is paid once and never refunded. It's tied to your second computer, which can't be a laptop (MiTM firmware).

On an AMD main PC

Private and MiTM don't run Vanguard on AMD, and buying the wrong firmware isn't refunded under our terms.

  • RDMA.
    A driver on your main PC sends its memory over Ethernet to your second computer, with both PCs on the same router or one cable between them. Keys are $180 a month, $400 for three months or $650 for six, and we set it up with you in a Discord ticket (What is RDMA?).
  • Advanced or Premium if you only want your games on other anti-cheats.

Check your Intel CPU

Press the Windows key, type System Information and look at Processor. On Core i5, i7 and i9 chips from 10th gen on, the number after the dash starts with the generation. An i5-11400 is 11th gen and an i7-12700K is 12th. Core Ultra desktop chips are newer than 11th gen, so they work. If you can't tell, post your processor on the support forum before you pay.

IOMMU, Secure Boot and Memory Integrity

Vanguard can ask for IOMMU, TPM 2.0, Secure Boot and Memory Integrity to be on before League starts. Riot puts this on an account or a PC when it sees hardware or stats it doesn't like. Private and MiTM run with IOMMU forced on, on Intel. What each setting does is in IOMMU and Kernel DMA Protection. If you use Vanguard On-Demand, ask on the support forum which firmware fits before you pay.

If your firmware doesn't support Vanguard

Vanguard starts with Windows and is on even with the game closed. If you're on Advanced or Premium for other games, uninstall Riot Vanguard from your main PC in Add or remove programs. Uninstalling League doesn't always remove Vanguard, so make sure Vanguard is gone too.

Bans

Everything can and will be detected eventually no matter what anyone says, but our firmware has had a good track record of being undetected. Inside your warranty, once we confirm and announce that your device is blocked or detected, you get a new device, and outside it 40% of what you paid comes off your next order (Firmware warranty and upgrades).

Riot can ban your PC's hardware as well as your account. A DMA card doesn't change your main PC's identifiers, so a hardware ban already on it stays (Hardware bans).

The software

We don't sell software. Ask on the support forum what people run for League of Legends. Whatever you pick has to support your card and your firmware (Which software).

What it costs

With a spare PC as your second computer, a 100T and Private VGK only come to $375 before software. From nothing, with a used office mini PC, a keyboard and mouse, the HDMI fuser and MAKCU, it's about $720. MiTM and RDMA swap the one-time price for a key you renew. Every part is in How much does a DMA setup cost?

If you aren't sure which firmware fits your PC, post your processor, motherboard and games on the support forum before you order <3
