Add more RAM to increase shared memory?

Hi!

I got a new game a few days ago, PES 2015, apparently its shared memory and VRam is not good enough to run it properly, since I only seem to be able to run nicely with lower resolutions and low graphics. Here's how the game rates my PC:

Here are my questions:
1) The only thing I can do right now (without having to change the video card) is trying to increase shared memory, right?
2) Right now, having 2Gb of RAM, is it possible to use part of it to increase shared memory?
3) With more 2Gb of RAM (staying with a total of 4Gb of RAM) how much is it possible to increase the shared memory for?
4) How can I exactly do it, I'm sorry guys if I made any silly question, but I've seen too many different things about the same subject, and I'm kind of confused.

Thank you all. Kind regards,
Peter

Video cards can and will share DRAM (it's not limited to iGPUs as indicated above), if the BIOS is set up that way, in most modern systems the sharing is done by the BIOS programming automatically, used to be you could designate the amount of DRAM but seldom ever see that these days

A dedicated GPU cannot share system RAM. Only integrated graphics cards can do that. They rely on system RAM. But a dedicated GPU has VRAM that only it uses. U cannot increase VRAM without buying a video card. increasing RAM wont increase VRAM.

Thanks for the answer mate. I know I can only increase VRAM by switching my video card, but what about the shared memory?

But is there a possibility to increase the shared memory by using RAM resources? I just figured out the image I posted is in portuguese, "partilhada" supposedly stands for shared memory. Thanks once again

theres a chance it will but it shows that ur CPU doesn't have an IGPU. Shared ram means its for IGPUs.
that means its for the GPU's using it. So, 4gb will increase system performance and maybe shared RAM.

Thanks mate once again. I asked that because supposedly there are tutorials on youtube showing how to change how much shared memory the computer uses. They do that somewhere in BIOS, specifically in chipset configuration or something. I tried to access to it, but apparently I don't have that option.

I'm going to try to purchase a new memory RAM then.
