Ubisoft has been pretty thorough with these PC specs for The Crew, detailing not just the minimum and recommended but also the ‘optimal’ system configuration. They’ve also spelled out that The Crew will require a 64-bit operating system and that an AMD driver “more recent than 14.6” will be necessary to avoid performance hits.

Here’s the minimum system Ubisoft things you’ll need:

Operating System: Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8/8.1 (64bit)

DirectX: DirectX June 2010 Redistributable

Here’s the recommended set-up:

DirectX: DirectX June 2010 Redistributable

And finally, here’s the one described as ‘optimal’:
