I've heard a lot about the lack of updates on the drivers, especially pertaining to World of Warcraft, where people get as low as 12-15 FPS in crowded cities.

Can anyone tell me if those problems have been fixed yet? - As that is the only issue stopping me from purchasing this awesome card right now.

On a side note, will this card fit into an Antec 900 case without heavy modding?

the low fps is most likely caused by network saturation, high ping, low network speed, etc etc. WoW is an old game and almost all cards today can play it decently.

It will fit in to the antec 900 just fine.

World of Warcraft, as noted above, has far more issues than GPU drivers. Rarely would any kind of problems in the game stem from a modern GPU.

The 4870 is a solid buy. Though you may want to work on buying a new game ;)
