That is a ship that has sailed.
It has been many years since a BIOS allowed adjusting the amount of memory used for UMA video.
The setting that you see when you enter the BIOS with F10 are all will get.
Advanced BIOS is for enthusiast gaming motherboards in stystems built by people like myself. It is DIY, not a factory thing.

Interesting... My last laptop (lenovo ideapad 5) was released in 2020. He had the option to reduce or increase the video memory. Because UMA takes 650mb from RAM. And I don't like it. I only use Nvidia graphics via type-c. I use a large monitor.

And because of that you believe that all manufacturer's notebooks and BIOS coded files are the same?
You can believe what you want, but what manufacturers choose to create, sell and support is something else.
This is my last response to your thread.

I missed the complete statement. Mea Culpa. 😐
I use PCIe x16 video cards in my gaming PC.
We just made different choices because of our different preferences.
Laptop Manufacturers on the whole, with a few model exceptions, deny owners access to anything beyond basic BIOS access to protect owners from themselves. That policy also protects their corporations from liability.
