Revit 2014 on BootCamp Issue

I've been trying to install Revit 2014 for a few months now on my MacBook Pro Retina 15" running Windows 7 Enterprise through BootCamp. The program installs fine (I've tried a few since i thought this was my first issue), but when i attempt to run the program it flickers terribly then locks up. Is there any work around to getting it to work correctly, or am I missing something?

Revit is pretty graphic intensive.  In my opinion it has surpassed the graphic requirements of Inventor.  Since Bootcamp is essentially a virtual machine, you might not have much luck with obtaining the proper graphic driver support.  You might just have to install it on a native PC with a real video card.

1st Bootcamp is not a virtual machine.  

 

2nd I'm running Revit 2014 just fine on a windows 7 installation on Bootcamp on a late model MacbookPro 15"  and haven't noticed any flickering. Make sure you're running the latest version bootcamp which includes the latest drivers provided by Apple.  

 

are you using Revit on the laptop only or with external screen as well?  what resolution settings are you using in windows?  Also make sure your copy of Revit is fully up to date with the latest patches and service packs.

I'm running the latest macbook pro 15 " retina with a dedicated graphics card, the latest bootcamp and drivers and am still having issues. My friends with older Macs do not have an issue.
