They've improved so much over recent years that I've not had to put a third party one on.
All the stock coolers on recent cards like the 8800 GTX/Ultra, HD4870 and GTX 285 have been excellent.
I'll soon be buying the awesome Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti SOC and certainly won't be replacing that one either!
EDIT: Another important benefit of not having to buy an aftermarket cooler for your VGA card, is that it doesn't reduce the value of your purchase. And by that I mean that the cost of the card + cooler might mean that you could have bought a higher end card that performs better. And if that needs a better cooler...
