Solution
Peripherals > gfx configuration > set integrated graphics to 'force'

This will unlock an option called 'UMA frame buffer size' which you can set to up to 2gb

Please note the following:
- 2gb is the maximum.
- You won't see any difference between 1gb and 2gb because the APU is too weak to use the extra vram
- You are much better off buying a dedicated graphics card
- When you do add a dedicated graphics card you will need to change integrated graphics from 'force' back to 'auto' or it will not work
