Hope you are doing this just for fun. Bitcoin outgrew CPU/GPU's almost 4 years ago so you are losing money by the bucketful using them to mine BTC.
Was able to improve the mhash/s by using this configuration instead:
Now, the temperature hovers around 80-82 degrees centigrade and I was able to up the mhash/s from 650 to an average of 814 mhash/s! Sweet! I forgot to mention that I upgraded to the latest version of cgminer (3.0.0) which you can download from https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer. Happy mining!

I'm running cgminer 2.11.4 on BAMT 0.5c:
Here are my parameters:
I noticed that even with this setting, I can only get around 640-660MH/s (total for both GPUs) but I wish I could squeeze more mhashes out of this card with the power it's consuming. Any tips I can try? The temperature is around 70 degrees centigrade on GPU0 and 62 degrees on GPU1 at this config and I think it would be pretty safe to move it up to 82-85 degrees to get more mhashes.
