+# Nvidia Gpu
+
+The `nvidia-gpu` sensor provides basic information about the gpu. Depending on
+the driver version it is possible that not all sensors are supported, so an
+error message will be written to `stderr` but the execution will continue.
+
+For more information you can consult the [nvidia nvml api](https://docs.nvidia.com/deploy/index.html).
