I just replaced my hd 6850 with this card and it needs two connectors but in the power options it says I can also use only one, help? Thanks
 
where did you read this? it needs 2 power connectors to provide the correct volts. if you only use 1 the card will likely not boot.
if you only have 1 pci-e 6 pin then you can always use a 6-4pin molex adapter to get the extra power needed, assuming your psu has enough to start with.
so no you will need 2 6 pin connectors if you dont already have them, the the card ships with the required adapters.

The card came with two six pin power come torso that plug not the guy into a molex connector.
On the bag it came in it says connector options: 1x4 pin 1x6 pin 1x8 pin 2x4 pin 2x6 pin 2x8 pin 1x8 pin+ 1x6 pin. I'm not too wavy with all the power stuff
