Can you run The Crew 2? PC requirements and settings
The Crew 2, by Ivory Tower (Action, Massively Multiplayer, Racing), came out on Steam on June 28, 2018.
Here are the official specs, and what they mean on the most common graphics cards.
Publisher's recommended cardNVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (6GB) or GTX 970 (4GB) or AMD RX 470 (8GB) or better
Minimum cardNVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 or AMD HD 7870 (2GB VRAM with Shader Model 5.0 or better)
Recommended RAM8 GB
Our conservative estimate60 fps at 1080p, high settings, with a Radeon RX 580
Estimate per graphics card
Which settings to aim for with your card
For each card: the highest settings level that stays smooth, and the expected frame-rate
range. This is a conservative estimate worked out from the publisher's recommended specs, not a
measurement: your processor, drivers and game updates move it.
Without DLSS, FSR or frame generation: turning them on raises the frame rate noticeably
when the game offers them.
Best settings
Best graphics settings for The Crew 2 by graphics card
The setting ORION's “Recommended” profile would pick to play at 60 frames per second: the
best-looking detail level that stays smooth, with upscaling when it lets you go one step up (DLSS
on GeForce RTX, XeSS on Intel Arc, FSR on other cards). If The Crew 2 doesn't offer it, use the
level from the previous table.

| GeForce RTX 5070 | Highover 233 fps | High151–208 fps |
| GeForce RTX 4070 | High204–280 fps | High132–182 fps |

| GeForce RTX 4060 | High132–182 fps | High86–118 fps |
| Radeon RX 7600 | High129–177 fps | High83–115 fps |
| GeForce RTX 3060 | High113–155 fps | High73–101 fps |
| Radeon RX 6600 | High105–145 fps | High68–94 fps |
| GeForce GTX 1660 Super | High73–100 fps | High + FSR Quality63–87 fps |
At these levels, ORION keeps textures on high from 8 GB of video memory (they cost memory,
hardly any frames), sets the frame cap on the target for steady pacing, turns off motion blur and
film grain, and leaves vertical sync off. This is a conservative estimate, not a measurement: in
ORION, the first measured session corrects the setting.

How much RAM does The Crew 2 need?
The publisher recommends 8 GB of RAM.
How are these estimates worked out?
The publisher's
recommended specs are the reference point (about 60 frames per second at 1080p on high
settings, unless the publisher says otherwise). Each card's power is compared with the
recommended card (the average when the publisher names several), then adjusted to the screen
resolution. A low margin is kept, and less video memory than recommended drops one level.
