Revit 2015 Windows 8.1 and Intel Iris Graphics

[Anonymous]

Hi, I just recently purchased a Macbool Pro w/ retina display (mid 2014) with Intel Iris Graphics, I used bootcamp to install windows 8.1 and then dowloaded Revit 2015.

Revit is very flymsy, the size of the the graphics don't match, the banner tool doesn't show up unless I move my mouse over it and it freezes everytime I try to close something. Also my mouse will work on a view and then it won't work on another.

I was told that my video cards (Intel Iris) cannot support revit and that is why it is giving problems.

I have tried to read in different forums but all they mention is having Intel Iris Pro.

Is there anything I can do to solve this or will I have to return my mac?

Thank you!

It should work perfectly even with Intel Iris, I assume there must be something wrong with your settings, especially the Retina Display settings are often tricky.

Thank you for your quick response!

Since Iris is pretty recently there really isn't a lot of info about how it would work with revit. I did change the settings like you said and it help... Revit began to work! But in the end I decided to return the computer since I shall be taking it abroad and will have to work solely on revit... not any other sofware so i guess I did not wanted to take any chances.

Thank you again!
