So maybe suggest using For recent GPUs, like the NVIDIA RTX 4090, you may need to change
the default CUDA architecture. This can be done by adding:
.. code::
CUDA_ARCH=89
to the ``make`` line or by using an override in ``GNUmakefile``. |

PR summary
Clarify that
CUDA_ARCHcan only be overridden from the command line; settingCUDA_ARCHinGNUmakefilewill be overridden and has no effect.PR motivation
Overriding this parameter from the command line will prevent AMReX from changing it, while specifying it in
GNUmakefilewill be overridden.I've learned it the hard way in AMReX-Codes/amrex#4621.
