These features have an option to adjust the amount of memory allocated to the GPU, which is usually 128MB by default, try increasing this number to 256MB or 512MB if there's enough space. However, not all CPUs or BIOSes have this option.

Method 2: T for fake VRAM

Because most integrated graphics solutions automatically adjust to use the amount of system RAM it needs, the details reported in the Adapter Properties window are not really important. In fact, for integrated graphics, Dedicated Video Memory is completely "fictional". The system reports that fake values ​​simply let the game see when checking how much VRAM is available.
