Is this graphics card significantly better than the original pro? Or is it just a small bump?

Still integrated. Intel trumpeted their massive improvements in their graphics, but...

...still meh.

Black ops 2 on my pro 2 wasn't that bad, and it was in 1080p!

Note that there was a second issue of the SP2 that came with an upgraded processor: from the 4200U, 1.6GHz to a 4300U, 1.9Ghz. Also, the Haswell's integrated graphics are much improved over the first SP's chip. All such-equipped ultra notebooks benefitted, even if it's still not -by design- comparable to a device equipped with an advanced dedicated card/chip.
