Those will do absolutely nothing to help your CAD performance. In fact the Intel HD integrated graphics included with the processor will perform slightly better as it shares its architecture with the Intel IRIS graphics which is optimized for CAD (I upgraded my HD 3000 integrated to a R9 270 so I've used both)

Even a workstation card won't make much of a difference in CAD performance besides rendering and in my opinion not worth the price if you already have Intel HD integrated graphics. If you do get a workstation card the AMD firepro V4900 is the best value by far.
