On January 28th, graphics enthusiast, NVIDIA multi-GPU maestro and friend, Chris Arthington -- best known as ChrisRay to graphics and PC hardware enthusiasts worldwide on many discussion forums -- passed away after battling pneumonia. He was 27 years old.

Chris was an advisor to Beyond3D on many SLI and multi-GPU related matters, helping educate us about driver support, answer our questions and connect us to NVIDIA. A regular poster on many forums on all matters PC hardware related, Chris informed and helped many thousands of people directly, and definitely informed orders of magnitude more as passing enthusiasts read his contributions to technical threads.

His love was 3D graphics, especially multi-GPU, and his contributions to the field as a member of NVIDIA's graphics focus group and online forums, listening to customers, have helped shape and evolve GeForce hardware and software in recent years. If you enjoy SLI, you owe part of that experience to Chris.

On top of all of that, he was a good personal friend and a really nice guy. He's survived by his family, and he tirelessly devoted his time and income to caring for his mum, who suffers from long-term illness. We also know he was close to his brother and his extended NVIDIA family, most of all Ken Brown. Our thoughts go out to those closest to him and his good friends, many of which were worldwide and online.

He did that in a big way. He did it for passion, not for money. He never asked for compensation for his articles, forum moderation, or reviews of new hardware. This is all the more impressive given his challenged finances. Although he had a good job, he also provided for his mother who suffers from a long-term illness.

Chris endured a lifetime of adversity that would have crushed someone of weaker spirit. Despite that, or perhaps because of it, he had a generous and helpful nature and was ever-considerate of others. He was sensitive and considerate almost to a fault.

Chris represented the best of the enthusiast community -- a fascination with 3D technology, a helpful nature, and a desire to improve the gaming experience for all. He was free of rancor or arrogance. He advanced no personal agenda. A love of technology and a genuine desire to help drove his actions.

I just went to the doctor for FLU shots because I am so sick. Apparently I got H1N1 in Vegas

Već dvadeset dana stoji tema o Krisovoj smrti. Mislim da je bilo dovoljno vremena da se saučešće i žaljenje izjavi. Lock.
