Sapphire 7950 Dual-X 3GB DDR5 needs dual 6 pin, GPU only has 6+2 pin?

As the title states, I'm currently shopping around for a new GPU and I got a good deal on this 7950. But I'm not sure if my PSU can power it or not. I have a 525w Sentey PSU and it is equipped with a 6+2 pin. The GPU description states that it needs 2x 6pin. Please enlighten me. Thanks.

It would be really pushing it even with an undervolted 7950. I'd go for a 760 or wait for the 960 when it arrives.

If your PSU only has enough +12V power for a single 6 or 6+2 pin connector, it is time to upgrade if you want to use the 200W HD 7950.
