In the q&A bit on arias page it states it need 1x 6 pin pcie power?

Im guessing thats right, all the other 4850's ive seen do as well.

I forgot to update this. It actually doesn't. Suprised me asewll. I'm guessing it runs at slower clocks and thus consumes less power so it doesn't need any additional power. Still a cracker of a car for under £70 (Can't remember the figure it was purchased at)
