Short Bio
Hello! I'm a post-college student who spends his days at home building/repairing computers and game consoles, eating yummy cookie dough, reading up on all things tech-enthusiast worthy, and tweaking/modding my devices to the max!

As for my part in the community, I have recently started helping out with editing the Hardware performance page. Mainly, I make corrections and add in missing information so that users can make proper comparisons between their hardware and user-posted results. It's my first for Wiki editing, though I do it for the greater good of users who view results and don't want to be confused by certain mistakes they may come across.

I make editing mistakes too. In that case, if you have tips for future editing based on previous edits I have made, please let me know through my talk page, User talk:Bb 20, or through an email.

~Thanks for visiting my humble profile, and have a great day!~

Nvidia tweaks for better gameplay performance
I have always been interested in tweaking software to have it work faster for me. Overclocking, Windows registry editing, optimization utilities, ect... Those are the types of things that I like to play around with. This nice thing about the Nvidia Control Panel is that you can have profiles per executable that contain different options for how the graphics drivers work with that program. Here, I will show you some of the effects of these profile options when coupled with javaw.exe.

Currently, I am using Java JRE 8 to do these tests. However, performance is very similar to that of Java SE 7 Update 40.
