Is there any way to reduce the hardware reserved RAM?

Official answer from AMD is that you can do that, but HP has its BIOS locked down so there is no option...

 

Why? It's pretty disgusting to see and 8GB model which has 2GB reserved for the VEGA, which means only 6GB is usable. 

 

EDIT: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1032955-reduce-allocated-vram-on-ryzen-mobile/

 

According to this, the previous iteration 2700U had its VRAM reduced to 1GB, which would work for me honestly, but this does not exist for 3700U?

 

Is there an ACTUAL HP employee that could look into this and if not let us choose VRAM, at least reduce it to 1GB.
