Change the VRAM on Intel HD Graphics

Hello,
I acquired an MSI (CR 70) with an integrated Intel(R) HD Graphics card.
I read that for this graphics card, the amount of allocated VRAM can be changed. I need to do this because I'm trying to run an MMORPG (The Secret World) that detects insufficient configuration with only 32MB of VRAM.
So I went to check the BIOS, and I found no corresponding option. In the graphics card control panel, I can only find information:
Minimum Graphics memory: 64MB
Maximum Graphics memory: 1664MB
Graphics memory in use: 121MB
But I can't change the amount of memory (which varies when I fiddle with the options, but that's it).
Do you have a solution for me?

Hello, the IGP HD Graphics is not originally intended for running 3D video games, although some of the more modest ones manage to run on it. Aside from the amount of memory, the operating frequencies and therefore the performance of this component are very low. Additionally, Intel's graphics drivers are not optimized for gaming like those from nVidia and AMD.
For The Secret World, the minimum configuration, which is generally not the most comfortable for playing, includes a modest graphics card such as the Radeon HD3850, which is already about 3 times more powerful than a simple Intel chip like yours. That’s why tinkering in the BIOS won't replace a true dedicated graphics card.
If any enraged passerby has something to say about the advice I give, please do it in a cordial and constructive manner privately. Thank you.
