The 2 pins are for grounding. I've read some article that says that using a metal object to connect 'em = 8 pin overdrive functionality. (Do NOT try this with something unshielded!)

it should either come with your card or with your PSU, esp the newer ones

First off, it's the PSU that comes with the pins.
I'm not sure if your 850W is modular, but usually modular has 8 pins.
