-This repository is NVIDIA CUDA plugin for XMRig miner v4.5+ and it adds support for NVIDIA GPUs in XMRig miner.
+This repository contains the CUDA plugin for the XMRig miner, which provides support for NVIDIA GPUs.
 
-Main reasons why this plugin is separated project is:
-1. CUDA support is optional, not all users need it, but it is very heavy.
-2. CUDA has very strict compiler version requirements, it may conflicts with CPU mining code, for example now possible build the miner with gcc on Windows (CUDA works only with MSVC).
+This plugin is a separate project because of the main reasons listed below:
+1. Not all users require CUDA support, and it is an optional feature.
+2. CUDA has strict compiler version requirements that may conflict with the CPU mining code. For example, CUDA doesn't support GCC on Windows.

-* [Download](https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig-cuda/releases) plugin, you must choose CUDA version, usually it recent version (CUDA 10.1), but builds with older CUDA version also provided, alternative you can build the plugin from source (requiring GCC 9).
+* To [download](https://github.com/MoneroOcean/xmrig-cuda/releases) the plugin, you must choose the appropriate CUDA version. Generally, the latest version (12.4) is all you need, unless you have very old GPUs. Windows builds are available for every major CUDA release. Alternatively, you can [build](https://xmrig.com/docs/miner/build/windows) the plugin from the source.
 * Place **`xmrig-cuda.dll`** and other dll files near to **`xmrig.exe`**.
-* Edit **`config.json`** to enable CUDA support.
+* Edit **`config.json`** enable the plugin.
