Graphics memory won't go above 2GB

Hi guys,
For some reason I can't assign more than 2GB of graphics memory to a macOS VM. It's built solely to play the 32-bit games I've bought over the years that I can't play anymore due to the 64-bit restriction, so graphics power is really important.
  • My iMac is running 11.2 and the VM is 10.14. Parallels is 16.1.2
  • My iMac has a AMD Radeon Pro 5700XT 16GB, but for some reason I can't give the VM more than 2GB of graphics memory.
Any advice would be really appreciated guys :)
 
In the VM it only shows as having 256MB graphics memory, which would explain why things like launchpad animations are so sluggish and jittery. (I've not attempted a game yet).

To confirm - Parallels tools is up to date and and the VM has 10 processors and 16GB RAM
