I have a 1000 watt power supply and i just bought this new xfx 7970 graphics card and i noticed that it takes a 6 pin and an 8 pin power connector. I only have two six pin connectors. Can I use a 6 to 8 pin power adapter or will that not give the card enough power.

I would be very wary/suspicous of a 1000w PSU that has only two 6 pin connectors.

As Madn3 asked - what exactly is the brand/model of the PSU?
