Optimally, the CPU should at least be a Quad-Core and have a speed of 4 GHz. This can seriously improve the frame-rate.

 ==Known Issues:==
-===Over-brightness===
+===Over-bloom===
-A common issue is that the Bloom effect is too high, making it difficult to see much of the screen when out in bright locations.
+A common emulation error is that the bloom is too high, making it difficult to see much of the screen when out in bright locations.
 *Solution 1: Use 2x, 3x or higher internal resolution in the GSdx plugin settings.
-*Solution 2: GSdx r4893 or higher dilutes the bloom effect, fixing visibility (your mileage may vary on whether this betters or kills ambiance).
+*Solution 2: There are several user-modified GSdx plugins available for download and are designed specifically for ''Shadow of the Colossus''. Download one of these plugins and unzip the files into the plugin settings for PCSX2. The over-bloom will be significantly reduced if this plugin is used in GSdx.
 ===Texture Misalignment===
-Unfortunately, raising the internal resolution to eliminate the bloom effect may cause certain textures to become misaligned. This causes the bloom on Shadow Creatures, Pigeons, Wander's Sword, and Mono's Dress to be placed to the upper-left of their proper position.
