Just to take this thread to an end. The guy from Ubisoft came up with a solution that worked. It had nothing to do with drivers or anything. All I had to do was to create a new local user on my computer (it had to be an administrator user) and run the crew on this. It worked out quite well (had to find the game in the file explorer first though). It still doesnt work on my main user, but I can live with it (I have clearified this small issue to the guy from Ubisoft, still waiting for his respond).
 
So if you have the same problem as me, you may try tthis simple solutuion

I had the same problem with my GTX 950, turns out my drivers were too new for The Crew causing the game to "stop working", this was fixed by finding a older driver that worked.

On June 28, 2016 the Linus Media Group domain registrar account was compromised.
 
The exact methodology of the "hack" won't be disclosed for obvious reasons, but I can assure you that despite any claims to the contrary, the appropriate safeguards were in place on our side, and as I type this Yvonne is having a very heated phone discussion with the 3rd party responsible for the breach.
 
Anyway, the thing most of you are probably wondering about right now is what this means for your forum account or personal information, and the answer is very simple:
 
NOTHING.
 
The "hacker" simply changed the DNS settings in the dashboard and did not at any time have access to the linustechtips.com server. Any claims of a database dump are categorically false.
 
The compromised accounts - including Twitter - have been restored.
 
I hope this clears things up.

damn, the story is shit so far though
too many microtransactions
and the tutorial is too long

who cares what parts you have and why you have them. people must have no life to care about that.

I've been meaning to watch this movie  I've heard good things about it . 

Can you check the PSU specs, it should be listed on the side of the unit. Specificaly, see if there is a spare 6pin pcie connector and check the amp rating on the 12V rail. If the psu is capable, a 950 is the same price as a 750 ti and much better.

its should be good enough that it wont bottleneck a 950 or 960. processers havent improved that much over the years

that could work, though i doubt a prebuilt PSU can handle a tdp of 150W, and thats if it even has a 6pin connector.

I just remembered, asus released a 950 that doesnt need a 6pin connector and has a tdp of 75W. that measn that no matter what, you can at least run a 950

Next time, don't paste the entire log in your post, use something like PasteBin.

Asus has a new GTX 950 without a 6 pin connector but I'm not sure if it's out yet. Otherwise a gtx 750 ti would be good.

No, PCI-Express version 2.x with X16 or X8 lanes is still plenty of bandwidth for even something like a GTX 970 or 980.
 
Heck, I am running a AMD R9-Fury on a PCI-Express 2.0 motherboard -- not a problem.

Where exactly did you get this info? That looks like AMD.com layout, but the site says it's PCI-E 2.0 http://products.amd.com/en-us/search/Desktop-Graphics/ATI-Radeon™-HD-5000-Series/ATI-Radeon™-HD-5500/ATI-Radeon™-HD-5570/41 I'm almost positive, you got some misinfo on your hands. 
PCI-E 2.1 was a server-only tech. It's technically not backwards compatible, which is why it never made it big on consumer side.
 
But to answer your question, yes. PCI-E 3.0 GPUs are compatible with PCI-E 2.0 motherboards and processors.

That's so weird. If it was the only instance I'd go all out on claiming a typo but Google gives loads of product pages claiming the same. Well, in any case, you're fine.

If you can find a 950 for that range.. they go on sale sometimes around that.  Otherwise if you feel like going the used route I quite frequently see  680's or 770's go for around $200 CAD

a 950 is better than a 750ti

GTX 950?

pretty much that, the 750Ti
 
the next best performance per dollar would be r9 380, which is way above $200
the best price to performance card is the r9 390, which is waaaaaay above $200 lolol

the 950 will be faster than this card i reckon

I'd recommend that you not go for that build. Many reasons not to.

What if I throw in $200? What could I get? Also I dont need a windows license or monitor.
