i have an Alienware R3 17 with gtx 970M 3 GB. i have no knowledge of overclocking so please help me out. what softwares do i need to do that ? what Core, Memory and Voltage should i set ? never OC'd before. Gtx 970M is started to getting low fps cuz its old gpu too. walktrough with steps would be much appreciated. i've searched on Youtube as people saying Oc'd gtx 970m is equal in performance to stock gtx 980M . is it true ?

On the subject, Alienware are suppose to come Overclocked, and can't be changed by the user. Its all under lock down. Overclocking, just edits your settings to make your card run faster, and use all of its potential, however if it can cause issues if done incorrectly. If you contact Alienware/Dell they should be able to tell you if your system is overclocked or not. But if I remember correctly when I called them, all Alienware Laptops come overclocked to the maximum they can with it still being stable and not causing issues.
