You can't share your main memory, per se, directly with a stand alone video card. The drivers can use some main memory as needed, but not in the way you are thinking.

When you have a video card, like the GTX 770, it's memory really has no relationship with the memory on the motherboard. They are separate and discrete from one another.

To increase the dedicated memory on your video card, you would have to upgrade your video card to a model with more memory.
