Whether you want to accept it or not this is a video card rendering issue not the game files or anything else.
The old card could very well be showing signs of failure.Game freezes,artifacting etc. are sure signs of video card heat or other problems.
A 7 years old card would be getting pushed with SH3 to begin with as the card is already 2 years older that the game itself.And with GWX installed would be pushed even more.
It may be time to look at updating as you can get a very good AGP based ATI 4760 card that I use and run at 1600x1200 8xAA and 8xAS with GWX and no slowdown at all.
