It should be able to based on this http://us.battle.net/support/en/article/diablo-iii-system-requirements and this http://www.hwcompare.com/2453/radeon-hd-4850-1gb-vs-radeon-hd-4870-1gb/#pixelrateExplain

Though you may want to upgrade just the GPU for real smooth gameplay. Something like a HD7770 or HD6850 would do just fine.

Blizzard games seem to run better on DX11 capable cards, like the guy above said the 6770 or 6850 would be solid upgrades.

How about a radeon 5770? would that be ok? or should stick with one of the two options you mentioned?

Wait and see when Diablo 3 is released how it runs on your system. If you're not satisfied then get a better graphics card.

Even if the game were available now, we could differ in what quality we consider "acceptable."

My personal advice is find an HD6870 on sale (as little as $150 after MIR) since I think you'd be far happier with that.

I agree with photonboy, if you're satisfied, there's no need for an upgrade.
