Can't increase HD Graphics 520 dedicated memory

[BJohn19]

I'm using the latest .4664 driver, installed on a Lenovo X1 Carbon 4th Gen (Skylake) laptop. I've increased the dedicated video memory in the BIOS to 512MB from 256MB. Yet, the HD 520 only utilizes 192MB of dedicated memory and 1632MB of shared system memory. I have 8GB of RAM as well as a PCIe SSD, so dedicating 192MB to video memory is much, much less than ideal.

Do I need to update the video BIOS, or is there another configuration I should be changing, or does the dedicated memory function just not work correctly?

Thanks,

Brian
