No. Dedicated memory is only dedicated to GPU only. Windows terrible misleading word of "total shared memory" just means it uses RAM to move data around which graphics memory do to since a lot of applications uses GPU to do some memory work.

But system ram does not = dedicated video memory that are soley for the purpose of rendering images.
