Can the AMD Radeon HD 4870 run Argo?
Yes, below recommended
Yes, below the recommended spec: the AMD Radeon HD 4870 clears Argo's minimum but not its recommended card. Expect about 19 FPS at 1080p on high; reaching 60 needs lower settings than low, or upscaling. Its 1 GB of video memory is under the 2 GB the recommended spec lists.
