Does GPU's require cooling?

Hey, I'm planning to buy a new PC. I just want to know whether Graphic Processors (like GeForce) require cooling?

If yes, please tell me are they included in package?

P.S. I'm planning to buy GeForce 8500 GT 256 MB. Will this require cooling?

    Yes, absolutely, most GPUs come with a built in fan, but if you are planning to overclock, more cooling (such as water cooling) is advised.

    Fuckingoath they need cooling, GPUs get extremely hot,

    good gpus usually come with on board fans and cooling system anyway.

    Yes, they will have a heat sink, or a fan. giga-byte tends to make more video cards with heat-piping... you may want to look in to some models if you are looking for something quiet... otherwise you'll have to try liquid coolant.
