Thank you very much for the reply!  You answered my question, thank you.

I've only tried to mine BTC once on a couple of my 7950's but couldn't get over 2.5/m (each) on any settings.  I don't believe I can set difficulty on my pool, nor did I note difficulty when I tried mining.  I'll have to check that again and see.  At the time, I figured maybe my cards weren't as good for BTC.

Thank you again

My Single has been running for 2 weeks, has a total average of 865.3MH/s, and a U:12.04/m. That means that it takes ~71.86MH/s to get 1 share per minute. So yes, 1.00GH/s should get you about 13.9 shares per minute.

Now that's assuming diff=1 shares. If you're running 7.18GH/s, but your pool is set to only accept diff=100 shares and above, you will get a U:1.0/m.

Lastly.  If you had one GPU @ 500 M-KH/s and it submitted say 5 shares per minute.  The second GPU is @ 600 M-KH/s and submits the same 5 shares per minute.  All other things being equal; these are "effectively" the same then right?  Even though hash is different; or am I missing something.
Yes, your submitted shares is all that really counts. If you're hashing at 10GH/s, but not submitting any shares, it's pretty much useless efforts. That said, share submission is pretty predictable based off a given hashrate, you just gotta give it enough time.

I was wondering if there is any normalcy to the quantity of shares a GPU submits per minute; given a particular hash speed?  I know this is variable with a lot of factors; but I'm sure people MUST have "target ranges" they expect to see right? 

From what I can dig up online; it seems;

BTC averages 10-15 Shares per minute per 1GH/s   -  Is this correct?
LTC averages No Clue Shares per minute per 1MH/s - Is this correct?
TRC averages No Clue shares per minute per 1GH/s - Is this correct?

Lastly.  If you had one GPU @ 500 M-KH/s and it submitted say 5 shares per minute.  The second GPU is @ 600 M-KH/s and submits the same 5 shares per minute.  All other things being equal; these are "effectively" the same then right?  Even though hash is different; or am I missing something.

Not sure if this will get answered.  Thank you if so.
