Hardware-One has posted a shootout between the Gladiac 311 and 511 (GeForce2 MX 200 and MX 400 based products).

It has been less than a year since NVIDIA released its first GPU targeted for a budget market, the Geforce2 MX. In that short period of time, Geforce2 MX has become NVIDIA’s most popular product, owing to its low price while at the same time offering 3D gaming performance as well as support for dual display. Also in that short period of time, Geforce2 MX has faced stiff competition from other card manufacturers with their own budget solutions.
