So I set up my pc yesterday and the system specifications are:

Cpu: i3 6100
Mobo: asus hm110m-k
Ram: hyper fury X 8gb
Psu: corsair vs550w
Hdd: WD blue 1TB
Case: Zalman t4 mini tower

As you see I don't have a gpu and I use my igpu from intel(hd 530). When I checked the system properties I saw that out of 8gb installed ram only 7.9gb is capable of using. I thought ok 100mb is used as VRAM by the cpu. But then I thought again : is this enough to play games? So I started to find a way to increase my "dedicated video memory". I changed my allocated video ram on BIOS to 1024 Mb. But then after I saved my settings and restarted my computer I checked my dedicated memory again(on windows-adnvanced seetings) and I saw 128mb. I checked the bios again and its 1024. So what is happening? Am I able to play games like far cry 3 and btf 4 with only 128 MB VRAM?

So it will use automatically up to 1gb if needed? Am I ok now? Because on systemrequirementslab the app tha scanned my hardware showed that I don't have the minimum VRAM and I only have 128gb. Should I ignore this and just test games? Thank you so much for answering my question.
