We like:
3D graphics plus TV/FM tuner on one card; loads of connectivity ports

CNET UK judgement:
The ATI All-In-Wonder X800 XL will have you gaming, watching TV and listening to FM radio, but it doesn't stand out in any one area
Full review:
The All-In-Wonder X800 XL is the latest multifunction card from ATI Technologies, featuring the Radeon X800 XL GPU, 256MB of DDR memory, TV and FM radio tuners, DVR software and a slew of A/V ports for connecting to external multimedia components. If you want to upgrade your PC's graphics card while adding a TV tuner, the £225 All-In-Wonder will also handle most current 3D games with confidence and give you the ability to watch, pause and record live TV. If you're looking for the best possible TV image quality you'll need to go with a dedicated TV tuner card, sych as the ATI TV Wonder Elite, but with the X800 XL's excellent 3D performance, the All-In-Wonder is a good choice if you're looking for a one-card solution.
