 The `original GPU build <#build-gpu-version>`__ of LightGBM (``device_type=gpu``) is based on OpenCL.
 
-The CUDA-based build (``device_type=cuda``) is a separate implementation and requires an NVIDIA graphics card with compute capability 6.0 and higher. It should be considered experimental, and we suggest using it only when it is impossible to use OpenCL version (for example, on IBM POWER microprocessors).
