No you'll get 6x Pin adapters in the box with the card, so you'll have to use one of them as well to power it.

You might not get another 6 pin connector, depends on what make card you buy, I didnt in my Powercolour.
Dont mean to upset you but that power supply might not be enough for this card depending on what else your running with it?

My new rig with the CPU at 100 % and both 4870's idling clocks in at 430watts LOL
edit......
Just done some further checks
360w during boot
370w at idle
395w at 50% CPU load
455w at 100% 1x GPU load (CPU load now 80%)
501w at 100% 2x GPU load (CPU load now 100%)
Holy crapola

I assume thats one of the reasons the Powercolor is cheaper.
Yes, can confirm you do get them with the Sapphire.
