The AK33 scored 6474 so I was a
little surprised that there was almost an 80 point difference in scores. This
has to be due to the slightly lower performance of the latest KT133 boards.
3D Mark 2000 is a synthetic benchmark so I wouldn't use it to make a purchase
decision on a component. You can download 3D Mark 2000

The results with Quake III Arena
are almost identical for the AK73 to its little brother AK33. The AK33 keeps
its miniscule performance advantage by beating the AK73 by tenths of a point
in every resolution. Some of the scores were so close I ran the benchmark
a couple of times to try to find a winner by more than a tenth of a point.
It would be fair to say at this point that in real world performance the AK73
and AK33 should be considered identical.
