    Sorry no. VRAM is usually a fixed shared percentage of total 8GB RAM. The card is actually in the form of a chip soldered to the mainboard so it cannot be  changed. Jack E/NJ

    If total RAM is increased, the shared VRAM is also increased. Jack E/NJ

    You can exchange the 4GB DDR4 replaceable sodimm RAM module with a 16GB DDR4 RAM module. This will give you a total 20GB RAM with the 4GB soldered RAM that's already on the mainboard. Jack E/NJ
