On the Low setting not every option was turned off so be sure to check them if you have performance problems. The Crew has four quality presets - Low, Medium, High and Ultra. Other options in this menu are common effects that can be tweaked or turned off completely. It can be set to 30 or 60 frames per second, but higher framerate is not available. It should work for multi-monitor setups with AMD Eyefinity or Nvidia Surround technologies, but I was unable to confirm it on my system.Īnother issue is forced framerate limiter. There is a cvar in the configuration file and editing it moves the slider in the menu, but it has no impact on the game. There is field of view slider, but for some strange reason this slider is not enabled for single screen setups. 4:3 aspect ratio resolutions are not supported at all and even if you force it by editing configuration files or by using borderless windowed mode, the picture will be stretched from wide-screen resolution. Every common wide-screen resolution is supported and that includes 4k and ultra wide-screen resolutions. The game is running on the Babel engine developed in-house by Ivory Tower and offers few tweaks in the graphics options menu.
Benchmark consisted of driving one lap in test drive mode in New York car dealer during the day. The testing was done in 2560x1600 resolution to eliminate 60 FPS limiter. Recommended GPU's are two generations newer then minimum and even those are in the mainstream range.Īll the tests have been done on system with Core i7-2700k clocked to 4.5GHz, 32 GB RAM and HD 6870 with 1GB of VRAM. Similar with recommended hardware specs, CPU's are also five years old, but newer architecture with higher clocks. The minimum system requirements are nothing to be afraid of, required CPU's are five years old and GPU's even more so the game should run on majority of today's hardware without any problems. GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6870 or Nvidia GeForce GTX 580 with 1024 MB of VRAM GPU: AMD Radeon HD 4870 or Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 with 512 MB of VRAMĬPU: AMD Phenom II X4 940, 3.0 GHz or Intel Core i5 750, 2.66 GHz
The game was released on Decemfor Windows and is available through several digital distribution channels.ĬPU: AMD Athlon II X4 620, 2.6 GHz or Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300, 2.5 GHz

PC Reports are a series of quick first impressions regarding the technical aspects of a PC game. If the game looks blurry after changing the resolution, set Fullscreen to Off and then to On. If by default the game is running at 30 FPS then launch the game, open the main menu and navigate to the Options menu, then click on the third icon called Display, then under FPS select 60 or Unlimited. Any settings modified in the launcher will be ignored, all graphical settings need to be setup again while playing.
On the very first launch they'll have to sit through a small cutscene before they can change their settings, however the cutscenes themselves can be skipped. Players are unable to access the main menu right away once the game starts. Faster higher end systems are required in order to run the game at a smooth framerate. Many systems will need to launch the game at a fairly low resolution in order to achieve a stable framerate. While the system requirements may not look like much, expect extremely low framerates for any systems meeting the minimum requirements.
