Question "Benchmark" curiosity

My primary GPU is an EVGA RTX3070. My CPU has the Intel 770 graphics. Just out of curiosity, I wanted to do some basic benchmarks to compare the two. Do I have to unplug the RTX3070 to get accurate numbers for the Intel 770? I tried Furmark...it referenced both graphics solutions even though my monitor is connected to the CPU graphics port. (without unplugging the power to the 3070 or removing the card)
 
Many benchmarks allow you to pick the graphics adapter to benchmark.
If the test doesn't, there is an option in Windows to set the graphics adapter for any specific executable.
See the 2nd section, beginning 'To set the default GPU for your application', here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000090168/graphics.html
That's what I thought, but when I run the benchmarks, it shows both...the 3070 temps go up as well as the reported power usage.
This isn't a big deal...I was just curious how the two actually compared. (other than what I read on various websites.) I KNOW the RTX3070 should be much better than the on-board graphics...I just want to see for myself.
