Revit 2015 Boot Camp, Issues

[wjg0004]

I bought Windows 8.1 and downloaded it onto my 15" Macbook Pro. My laptop exceeds the specs. required for the Windows 8.1 operating system and Revit. I partitioned 120g for the Windows drive. 

Once I download Revit and open my file to work Revit runs very slowly (inoperably slow). The tool bars do not appear until I hover over them or move the display. if I switch between floor plans the plans disappear. The whole program lags to any input. 

I am in the middle of my final exam period and could really use some help so I can work over the Thanksgiving break. If you have ever experienced or know a solution for these issues I would be more then grateful. 

Thank you for your time and help.

I am having the same issues. I have a newly installed Windows 8 running on bootcamp of my 15" Macbook Pro and I've also just installed Revit 2014 for a BIM class I'm taking, but the use of the program lags so much that I can't even use it to learn and do simple commands or exercises. I have turned off "Use Hardware Acceleration (Direct 3D)" but it has not improved the performance of the program at all. I have a 'NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M' video card and the rest of mac specs exceed the software requirements. It's a fairly new computer.  If there is a solution, please help. Thanks.
