IDK if your laptop bios supported this, but some models you can change the vram allocation. Maybe try to changing it to a lower value. Or if you have the money just another ram stick.

If it only has one stick you want a second stick anyway, dual channel makes a pretty significant difference to performance especially for anything using the iGPU.
