Here's what you need to run The Crew on PC

Ubisoft's open-world racer The Crew launches in a month, and the publisher has posted the minimum and optimal specifications for those looking to play it on Windows PC.

The requirements are fairly standard -— nowhere near as eye-popping as what Assassin's Creed Unity laid down. It should be noted that The Crew will only run on 64-bit operating systems. Further, while a laptop that meets or exceeds these specs may run the game, Ubisoft warns that gaming laptops have not been extensively tested.

The PC edition will support gamepads such as the Xbox 360's (or similar models.)

The specs are below. For more on The Crew, see Polygon's preview from E3 2014.
