I have a GTX 1050 in my laptop, which has 2GB VRAM. When I look at task manager it says I have 2gb 'dedicated' GPU memory, but 5.9gb GPU memory and 3.9gb shared GPU memory.

A game I'm playing maxes my GPU memory at 2GB. Is there any way to tap into the 5.9gb or 3.9gb shared? For example alongside the GTX 1050, I have a integrated GPU Intel HD graphics 630.
