Do you remember the 8600 GT with the OC Gear package? If you have read this site before, you may recall it. Well now, Asus has a page up for a new HD 3850 OC Gear. It seems like they have even added some more OC Gear display features to this one. Huzzah!

Here are the old display functions:

1. System Master Volume
2. GPU Speed
3. GPU Temperature
4. Current FPS (Frames Per Second) Info
5. GPU Fan Speed ++

++ You are allowed to adjust the Fan Speed only when installing an ASUS graphics card with fan control function.

Here are the new display functions:

1. System Master Volume
2. GPU Speed
3. GPU Stream Processor++
4. Memory Speed
5. GPU Temperature
6. Current FPS (Frames Per Second) Info
7. GPU Fan Speed +++

++ Adjust the GPU shader clock only for Nvidia’s model
+++ You are allowed to adjust the Fan Speed only when installing an ASUS graphics card with fan control function

So display function #3 has no purpose since the HD 3850 is not a Nvidia card. It might still display the HD 3850's stream processor speed, but since you can't "adjust" the speed, it does not really do anything for you.
