What is a reliable clock you can use without adjusting the voltage?
Should I cancel the warranty if I exceed the voltage limits?
Is it advisable to boost or lower the voltage?
How much improvement in frames per second can I expect?

You can't alter the voltage without a custom BIOS, but you can adjust the power limit to 108%, which is only a minor adjustment but may slightly improve stability. I can push mine up to 2110mhz, possibly matching or even exceeding yours with a similar result. Your chances of overclocking are not affected by the warranty, as the card includes overclocking software and the MSI Afterburner bundle doesn't disclose this. Your FPS gain will vary based on the game and your overall hardware.
