600+ FPS claimed Vendor claim

ATAS advertises 600+ FPS for its GPU-rendered Heatmap on high-end GPUs. Its comparison article attributes the figures to internal testing. Settings include GPU selection and an automatic or manual FPS cap.

This is a Heatmap rendering claim, not an independently reproduced comparison or exchange-to-screen latency result. Hardware, edition and workspace matter; the figure does not describe every ATAS module.

Speed rating: Unrated · No comparable benchmark found.

Research checked 4 Oct 2026. Figures describe different components and are not directly comparable.
Score explanations & sources
Browser & desktop access=72/5

1 documented native desktop route earns 2/5 in the browser-first profile. One established route counted: Windows Classic. ATAS X on macOS and Web are beta or have unverified parity, so they add no stable-route points. This is an access-preference rating, not a usability test or a claim of feature parity.

THE SHORT VERSION

Why it’s in the index

Ranks highly for the breadth of its volume-analysis tools and footprint display options across multiple markets.

  • Cluster charts
  • Smart Tape
  • Smart DOM
  • Heatmap beta

BEFORE YOU CHOOSE

Know the setup

Pro or Ultra is required for live futures/stocks; Start and Plus cannot connect those live feeds. X and Web are beta products with different coverage. Replay requires Plus or higher and excludes dxFeed-instrument charts under current connector documentation.

Which versions match the filters?

Each line is a documented combination. Browser results exclude versions whose workflow coverage has not been established. DOM & tape means one or both analysis views; it does not promise live order entry.
