ya it can go higher. A good way to check if the video card is ok is run cs:source video stress test if u dont get any artifacts it should be fine. ull no wen to stop overclocking.but u can go alot further

Ive been doing tests with DOOM3 and I got it to 575/1475 but it over heated, time to go to water cooling =)

You could try a better than stock air cooler like the new Zalman, get some ramsinks too with an 80mm fan blowing on them...

By the way your sig image is too large for forum regs, sig images can be no bigger than 600x150.

Do you have the fan running at 100%? Riva Tuner has the ability control it.

A little bit of AS-5 on the stock cooler will also help a bit till you get better cooling.

You might want to look into raising the voltage, you often need to do this to see any real gains, sometimes cooling alone will not help much.

Depending on your card, there are several options: Bios modding, Pencil modding, and soldering mods.

NBITOR (From above link) can be used to Bios Mod, there are gains to be found in here beyond just raising voltages (Timings etc..)

I agree, it helped with my GTO2 quite a bit.
