+## GPU compatibility
+
+   Btop++ supports NVIDIA and AMD GPUs out of the box on Linux, provided you have the correct drivers and libraries.
+
+   Compatibility with Intel GPUs using generic DRM calls is planned, as is compatibility for FreeBSD and macOS.
+
+ * **NVIDIA**
+
+    You must use an official NVIDIA driver, both the closed-source and [open-source](https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules) ones have been verified to work.
+
+    In addition to that you must also have the `nvidia-ml` dynamic library installed, which should be included with the driver package of your distribution.
+
+ * **AMD**
+
+    AMDGPU data is queried using the [ROCm SMI](https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/rocm_smi_lib) library, which may or may not be packaged for your distribution. If your distribution doesn't provide a package, btop++ is statically linked to ROCm SMI with the `RSMI_STATIC=true` make flag.
+
+    This flag expects the ROCm SMI source code in `lib/rocm_smi_lib`, and compilation will fail if it's not there. The latest tested version is 5.6.x, which can be obtained with the following command:
+
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/rocm_smi_lib.git --depth 1 -b rocm-5.6.x lib/rocm_smi_lib
+   ```
