How to increase dedicated video memory on HD 530?
128MB in use.
4073MB available?
already made a change from bios
my usable memory also went down
but it did not increase my graphic memory.
Want to increase video memory to 1024mb.
 
Solution
It was a bit hard for me to find at first too go to advanced mode in your UEFI BIOS Utility and then select the Advanced option and I think its the 3rd option im not sure it says System Agent (SA) Configuration select that one and under that one Select Graphic Configuration then you will be able to select from 32-63-128-192--256-288-320-352-384-416-448-480-512-1024

Note:
Im facing the same issue as you do in one of my PC
If you find a way to fix it please share it it may help me too
I tried in my ASUS H110M-D board it changed and also reflected in the system display settings under Adapter Information as Dedicated Video Memory as 1024 but sadly in my ASUS B150M-PLUS board it changed the value only in the BIOS(checked twice) but the...

I am not completely sure what you mean but here is what I think could help:

The Intel HD chip always has 128mb dedicated to itself, but if it needs more RAM, then it is capable of pulling 4073mb of free system RAM. Its shared memory, so if the CPU is taking too much RAM then the amount of onboard graphics RAM decreases. There is no set allocation for CPU and the graphics chip "fight" over shared RAM constantly changing the allocation of video RAM available.

I am pretty sure if your PC has enough RAM, then the graphics chip will generally have 4gb, (4000mb,) of Video RAM. However, I don't think integrated graphics chips are powerful enough to utilize 4gb of RAM.
 
Didn't find the information from msi, but Intel specifies a max video memory of 1792mb
Have a look into your bios and search for integrated peripherals-> shared memory. There should be the setting auto. Click on it and you will see your max memory you can choose. Dvmt is another option you could test to reconfigure.
But The system should configure itself to the optimum ram size.
