If you're referring to additional fans specifically for the GPU, then yes, the stock cooling will do fine.
If you're referring to your entire case having no additional fans, that's a different story.
Realistically it's not ESSENTIAL but it's best practice to have at least one front mounted case intake fan to draw in cool air, and a rear mounted exhaust fan to extract warm air. If you just have a GPU sitting in the middle of the case with no cool air flowing into the case, your GPU fan effectively draws warm air through itself, as there is no cool air to draw upon, and the cooling process is somewhat negated.
But this effect is obviously also dependant on how hot your current climate is.
