low i5 4690k score?

[manute]

So I recently did a CPU mark score and Im scoring ~7500 when the average is around ~7800, why am I scoring lower? I am currently using integrated graphics, not sure if that affects anything. I also don't recall getting lower scores when I had a dedicated gpu although my cpu may have been overclocked when I ran it.

The video card should have no impact on the CPU test, but overclocking will.

Im just wondering if using the integrated GPU in my cpu will take some resources away from the cpu, giving me a lower score?

No it won't (unless the whole thing is overheating)
