Pulse88 sets new record for the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 (192SP)

Swedish overclocker Pulse88 has taken the top spot in the category for the legacy NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 192SP (the original revision with 192 active stream processors) in 3DMark06.

Alongside the CPU and graphics card, the record-breaking test bench featured an ASUS ROG Maximus XI Apex motherboard and looked like this:
