-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is my adapter information:

Adapter String - Intel(R) HD Graphics 530
Bios Information - Intel Video BIOS

Total Available Graphics Memory - 6223 MB

simple answer no.

dedicated video memory is physical memory for the video card usually mounted on the main board or if its an add in card/ on the add in card.

shared system memory is just your RAM that the video driver has taken to use in addition to your video card dedicated ram. the amount is controlled by the video card driver programing

I have already tried that, but there is no graphics configuration option in the BIOS. Is there another way to do this? Thanks for trying to help!

fyi that is changing shared ram not dedicated ram.

"shared ram" is the ram your cpu uses in from your main memory. some are able to change the amount in the bios. yours is being controlled from your video driver and your post above is saying its using 6gb for video memory which is plenty.

if your trying to increase your performance of your graphics you need to get an add in card. it will be a lot faster and will free up system ram as add in cards have a lot more memory on the card itself.
