Shared GPU not being used

Good afternoon,

I'm certain this is no "new" issue to many, but I am fairly new to this.

As you can see in the picture above, all of my dedicated GPU ram is being used while 0.2/15.9 ram of shared is being used.
I read somewhere that I should be setting this manually in BIOS, but before I try, I'd like to get some insight from the AMD community as well, maybe there are other things I'm missing.

Intel Core i7 7700 @ 3.60GHz 
Kaby Lake 14nm Technology

ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. H110M-R (LGA1151)

Intel HD Graphics 630 (ASUStek Computer Inc) - Integrated graphics
1024MB ATI AMD Radeon HD 7700 Series (Sapphire/PCPartner) 
CrossFire Disabled

I copied this from speccy.

These are my radeon software configurations, mostly disabled/ on low/ on performance.

Thanks for any insight, I will reply shortly to anyone that writes on this post.

Kind regards,

The shared memory is there for app/games that may need to use (some) of it, it is not additional memory added to vram for full time use.

Your 1Gb card will not become a 16Gb capable card.

Is it possible that dedicated graphics cards like my AMD one, cannot even use shared GPU, but only integrated ones?

There is no crossfire, dual, shared graphics option with the processor.

Connect the monitor to the hd7700 only to use the card.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I understand how crossfire works now.

What about the shared memory ( My main issue)?

Kind regards,

Ok, I did some research and understand how it works now.

Thanks.
