GPU right now is non-profitable for all algo, best to just sell them when they still have some value..

Mining Litecoin with GPUS is not going to be profitable, as there are scrypt asics out now that will push the diff sky-high. See for yourself using a scrypt profit calculater, for instance: coinwarz.com As it stands now, the electricity will cost more than the profits you are hoping top make.

I would suggest that you look into alternative algorithms like X11, X13, X15. Read up on what crypto currencies you find good and join a mining pool. If you do not want payouts in a special currency other than BTC, then pointing your rig towards a multipool is probably the better option for you.

As an alternative/comparison, check my sig and look at hashlets. You could get about 1.2 MHps with your two cards. 1 MHps of scrypt cloud hashing starts at $15, but I would go for the Zenhashlet that is $21.

If you still want to use your cards for scrypt mining, look here for a few cgminer hints: Litecoin.info
