My 7010 is an i7-3770, so I can't help you on graphics. But following the main guide and booting from UEFI, everything but sound worked on the first try. I got VoodooHDA 2.8.8 from Sourceforge, and found a video guide on YouTube for getting iMessage to work. I don't put the box to sleep, in case...
