+# gotop NVidia extension
+
+Provides NVidia GPU data to gotop
+
+To enable it, either run gotop with the `--nvidia` flag, or add the line `nvidia=true` to `gotop.config`.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- [nvidia-smi](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA/Tips_and_tricks#nvidia-smi)
+
+## Configuration
+
+The refresh rate of NVidia data is controlled by the `nvidia-refresh` parameter in the configuration file.  This is a Go `time.Duration` format, for example `2s`, `500ms`, `1m`, etc.
+
+## Alternatives to test
