Am I right that there’s currently no way to utilize this feature with Core i7 as there are simply no NVIDIA chipsets for Nehalem ?

No? You can use it with a GT200, you just don’t get copy elimination. You can still transfer data across PCIe transparently from zero-copy memory.

  • Allows MCP7x and GT200 and later GPUs to use system memory without

Thank you for your answer.
