Hi there!

In most cases, the computer manufacturer has already configured the system to use the maximum amount of graphics memory that is possible for your particular computer model.

Enter BIOS of your computer and see if there is an option for Video Configuration, Maximum DVMT (Dynamic Video Memory Technology) settings and set as Maximum.

If above option is not available, check with your computer manufacturer if there are tips on increasing the amount of graphics memory for your computer model.

See below for additional information:
