The GeForce team was shocked and saddened to hear that Chris “ChrisRay” Arthington succumbed to pneumonia on January 28th. He was only 27.

3D graphics enthusiast Chris Arthington

Chris was a longtime graphics enthusiast, nZone moderator, and frequent contributor on a number of forums including NVnews, SLIzone, EVGA, Rage3D, Anandtech, and others. He loved graphics technology and had a sincere desire to help people by sharing information, trouble-shooting, and reporting issues to NVIDIA. As a member of our user group, he helped us evaluate new hardware and advocated for improvements like advanced anti-aliasing and improved multi-GPU scaling. His Twitter (ChrisRaySLI) bio states: “Goal: Help all Nvidia users by improving their experience with Nvidia hardware.” He did that in a big way.

The graphics community and the team at NVIDIA have lost a great friend and a tireless advocate, and he’ll be sorely missed.

NVNews.net created a site to honor and remember Chris. Please go here to the memorial page and post your reflections. NVIDIA is providing support to his family, and we’ll pay tribute to Chris at GeForce LAN events and other activities throughout the year.

Chris was one of my favorite NVIDIA enthusiast and focus group members. I spent many hours on the phone and exchanged many emails with Chris. He would give me his honest opinion on NVIDIA’s products and what we were doing.
Chris’ legacy is that he always challenged us make our products better for gamers. That was his passion and he became active in the forums to help us make our products better.
It was always a pleasure to work with Chris and I will truly miss him.

Yeah, had countless discussions and debates over the years but what was consistent was his straight forward, constructive approach with a passion to help others and sharing of data. He will be missed so much because this kind of mind-set was so rare and so self-less.
Will never forget what he offered for the community.
