X8 seriously bogging down my mac

[Tyguidry]

having issues manipulating files and generating tool-paths effectively which kind of surprises me because I had kind of assumed I met/exceeded mastercam suggested system requirements so im thinking maybe it could have something to do with the fact that im partitioning windows on my mac? maybe somehow im not utilizing all of my hardware potential that way? Need new drivers? not sure...I do realize that people in my position represent maybe a fraction of a percent so somebody with a concise answer is probably non existent but any advice is helpful.....kinda at a loss here.

 

Specs;
Windows 8 partitioned on mid 13' macbook pro retina 15"
520gb SSDD
16gb ram
intel HD 4000 integrated graphics & Nvidia Geforce 750x w/ 1gb of dedicated memory

any other info that might be helpful, just ask. happy to answer any questions

What is the processor a I5 or I7. the Video is not much. I have a 15" mac pro with 8 gigs of ram and a I5 and the video I have to check. running bootcamp on windows 7 runs pretty well. not as good as my Dell Precision but does a good job.

Sorry about delay, I have not ran Win 8.1 on the mac just Windows 7. I don't see windows 8 being a heavy OS like Vista was.

I still feel that moving files and such are an issue with the video being week for this kind of work.
