I still can't understand how you are failing to grasp this.

Say I have 1x 7950. It can achieve 590mH/s mining Bitcoin or 650kH/s mining Litecoin.

This currently equates to 0.139 Bitcoins per day (currently $1.24 in USD), or 0.777 Litecoins per day (currently $2.31 in USD).

Therefore Litecoin is 187% more profitable than Bitcoin on a 7950. Where you are getting this information that mining Litecoin earns less than Bitcoin I do not know.

THANK YOU for posting NUMBERS and not speculation.
THANK YOU.
This makes intelligent conversation based on metrics that are real.

First a 590Mh miner does not make 0.139BTC it makes 0.0139BTC. However my calculator puts that at $1.19USD so your main point is still valid, the USD money in the end is about what you said (with the dropping BTC value from the time you posted until the time I posted).

I get 650Khash = .77 LTC (2.05019 USD) (also dropped from your post time to my post time)

So yes that would appear more profitable!
You are right.
But how do you get 650K/hash when it was 590 M/hash?

Is there a mining rate converter somewhere?

Sorry I appear to have missed out a .0 on the Bitcoin amount. 0.0139 is the correct amount.

In my case based on personal experience, using a 7950 I have never been able to get above 600MH/s stable mining Bitcoin. 590MH/s stable can be achieved with GPU engine overclocking. The same card (Gigabyte WF3) flashed with F43 BIOS does 650kH/s mining scrypt on stock clocks.

i have a powercolor 7950 that runs stable at 1250-175, that's ~645 mhash. hm, probably would get 650-655 at 8 *intensity (sigh)

but i usually run it at 1200-175, 617mhash or so

if mtgox price drops below $80 is when I will turn all my stuff off (or after next difficulty increase). my time is worth more to me than what i would earn at that point

oh, re: stuff remaining stable for weeks. maybe if you have all your stuff in an enclosed air conditioned space? i have to close the window every time there is a thunderstorm (fairly frequent). regular rain showers would be OK, but thunderstorm with swirling winds and what not, rain flies into that room from fan. so, window has to be closed and then room gets too hot, so miners have to be stopped and turned back on later. also, there are power brownouts every week or so.
