Ah I thought you may have gone through with the rma just to be certain it's ok.
After some blagging my Mrs let me use the money from my gpu's to switch platform, So with all the change jar's emptied I managed too raise enough to get a Maximus VI Hero and 4770k which I'll be ordering this morning
Very nice scores Solar, it looks like AMD cards do a lot better in Firestrike, I know when I had the R9 290X it was a lot better than the 780 and in 3D Mark 11 too.
I will update a little later.
No doubt I'll get my head around it in timeJust to let you know it's like 3 extra settings on Haswell compared to IvyI've always read the Intel overclocking threads so have a basic idea but will look over all the guides I can find and hassle you lot for tip's
I've had a look at a couple of guides and like the look of the bios and it's features. It looks a massive improvement over my V Formula
OK both scores updated Solar, it is a little crazy that your GPU score is near enough the same as my best run, I was running 1333MHz Core and a crazy Memory OC.
Edit: Solar, can I just ask, are you sure Lucid is disabled? Have you disabled igpu in the Bios too?

Yes and yes i took it off because when running 2 cards artifacts galore i ended up just disabling the whole thing on start up and in bios
The crossfire score i figured out something having one card 1st GPU at a good beefy clock then 2nd gpu not so beefy gives better results then both at the same speed crazy i know
By the way the clock was 1180/1175 power 20% i noticed the more power given the better it performs there is the voltage wall though like 1.175
Also would like to point out some of the members said it gave terrible performance so maybe the lucid held it back some because i did better without it
