Please don't speculate if you are not sure. And also directing the OP
to get the drivers from amd.com instead of RPMFusion is a poor

Yes, `man 4 radeon' lists the following as supported chipsets,

       RV710       Radeon HD 4350/4550
       RV730       Radeon HD 4650/4670
       RV770       Radeon HD 4850/4870
