Hello TheMaskedCobra,

Adding more Ram can provide more room for the dedicated video memory but this can only be adjusted through the motherboard BIOS, you would have to check if the motherboard has this setting enabled since not all manufactures let you adjust this.

You can check this article were this is explained:
