Completely playable, intro FPS sags 5 fps when at 4ghz, and 10fps when at 3.5ghz, but gameplay is always 60 regardless.

Turning on progressive scan ingame, got me an extra 3 fps average for some reason.

*Shadow of the Colossus is one of PCSX2's most popular games, but it is one of the most complicated to emulate due to the fact that the original Playstation 2 release pushed the limits of the console and often suffered from frame-rate losses. This game is very CPU intensive, even for PCSX2.

*This game is extremely CPU and GPU intensive. It was running between 20 and 30 FPS even on the original Playstation 2. IF you do experience slowdowns while playing this on PCSX2, setting VU Cycle Stealing to 2 or even 3 helps the game tremendously.

==CPU Requirements==


The game's performance varies significantly depending on the CPU being used to run it. PCSX2 runs better on Intel CPU's than their AMD equivalents, and so does Shadow of the Colossus. Recomended, Intel maxwell, haswell, or broadwell CPU at 3ghz and higher.

To achieve 60 frames-per-second, your CPU must meet all of the following requirements and have the necessary speedhacks enabled.
To achieve 60 frames-per-second, your CPU must meet all of the following requirements and have the necessary speedhacks enabled:
* The CPU must be an Intel-brand; not AMD
* The CPU must be an Intel-brand; not AMD
* Due to architectural improvements, the CPU should utilize the latest Micro-architecture in the series
* Due to architectural improvements, the CPU should utilize the latest microarchitecture available
* The Clock speed must be over 4.0 GHz (The only Intel CPU with a base clock this high is the i7-4790K. Most other CPUs will need an overclock).

|Description=In this case, scenes within the Shrine of Worship don't emulate at full speed, and as a result, the audio/video during the ending cutscenes (which mostly take place within the Shrine) become unsynchronized by several seconds because the video is unable to keep up with the audio.
|Description=In this case, scenes within the Shrine of Worship don't emulate at full speed, and as a result, the audio/video during the ending cutscenes (which mostly take place within the Shrine) become unsynchronized by several seconds because the video is unable to keep up with the audio.
|Workaround=This problem only occurs if your CPU is not efficient enough at Floating-point operations to run the scenes at full speed, even with the appropriate Speedhacks enabled. This happened to me when I was using an AMD FX-8120 due to it's clock rate and mediocre FPU efficiency. As a result, the solution to this problem is to have either of the recommended CPUs above, or to have a CPU with the sufficient architecture and clock rate for decent emulation.
