I've installed gpu-z 0.7.9 but I don't see any perfcap sensors? nvidia-specific?
I've 14.301.1001.0 (Catalyst 14.9) on Win7 64bit as graphic driver, seems to be the newest... other games work, so might not be power problem?

Possible, never had an AMD card so i can't tell.

Then my only idea would be some Catalyst setting to interfere. Reset the driver to default and check if that helped.

my fault, found out what is was, if you want to build a faq: it's a developer machine and I had debug-version of dx activated with much debugging info enabled, that slowed it down.. it's not the first time something like that happened to me, but I always forget to reset the settings after a debugging session anyway, thanks for your suggestions!

By me always the same..
In Dungeons running, fighting is very fast excellent...
In Outsides Area Fleet Island etc.. is very Slow fighting an running..

It's the engine, there are already too many reports of fluktuating and bad performance. Send a support request per email to AH, to make your this critical issue for you visible to AH.

Have you checked your FPS in Twigroot forst or some outland area? ("debugInfo = true", FRAPS) The difference between debug and release version seems a little bit extreme...

Ah i see .. well what FPS-rate do you get now?

Well giving no information at all about your system, CPU, GPU, settings or framerate won't change that.

Yeah sure .. you have no idea what carlo222 runs on or with but it must be the LoG2 engine.
That's like "Mommy why does my Voodoo2 not run LoG2?" "Must be the engine, dear. Write a rant to AH."

PC games are in general expected to scale with hardware; GPU perfomance and screen size. The LoG engine is overly limited with both aspects, which is especially surprising for many customers as: they expect a retro game, adressed at the retro audience, focussed on game mechanic and not a super-shiny AAA title focussed on graphics and visual effects, needing newest generation of GPUs.

Therefore I find it reasonable to expect that LoG2 has options which allow the game to run even with subpar hardware (mobile, some year olds one): deactiving shiny effects, reducing resolution etc. , like it is common for many PC games. Both options scales not enough (or are too restricted, resolution) with the LoG engine to produce enough frames.
