The Crew Motorfest in test: Laptop and desktop benchmarks

We are currently running our gaming benchmarks with these notebooks. Clicking on the photos will take you to the respective manufacturer's homepage. All other test systems (tower PCs, mini PCs, ...) are listed at the end of the article.

As you would expect from Ubisoft, an integrated benchmark is on board. The approximately one-minute sequence shows - who would have thought it - a car race from changing perspectives. It goes through water as well as through the jungle. Conveniently, an FPS graph is already presented during the measurement. There is some more information at the end of the benchmark, but the evaluation is not nearly as detailed as in some other Ubisoft titles.

Basically, we would describe the hardware requirements of The Crew Motorfest as quite moderate. With 40 FPS upwards, you get a sufficiently smooth gameplay.

The performance table is very unspectacular in Full HD. With the exception of the iGPU Radeon 680M, which only drives 1,280 x 720 pixels and minimum settings with more than 40 FPS, all tested mid-range and high-end GPUs scratch the 60 FPS limit when using 1,920 x 1,080 pixels even with maximum details.

For a combination of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels and the Ultra preset, a mid-range model on the same level as the GeForce RTX 4050 is sufficient.

The wheat is only separated from the chaff when using a 4K display. 3,840 x 2,160 pixels and full details crave a high-end accelerator starting with the GeForce RTX 3080 Ti or GeForce RTX 4070. In these settings, The Crew Motorfest seems to be quite VRAM-heavy. On our RTX 4050 laptop (only 6 GB), a warning message about too little VRAM appeared in 4K/Ultra.

Since gaming tests are very time-consuming and often restricted by installation or activation limits, we can only provide you with a part of the benchmarks for the publication of the articles. Further graphics cards will be installed later.
