I have to disagree. I have a 2.6GHz CPU and an X800 XT card and GWX runs fine for me with all the bells and whistles, AA, AF, the works. Once I swapped out the X800 XT for an X1650 PRO (which is less powerful) and even that ran GWX with everything enabled, though I had to turn the AA and AF down a bit.

A second hand X1650 PRO, or similar, will set you back about £25 I should think (maybe even less) and will run GWX with everything turned on.

My current specs:
FX-55 CPU @ 2.6GHz
2Gb RAM
X800 XT with 256Mb VRAM

My current settings:
6xAA
2xAF

My current GWX performance (16km and full harbour traffic):
40-60 fps when sailing alone in campaign mode.
20-40 fps when in a port or near a convoy in campaign mode.
