No, they are completely separate, and can not be transferred.

The only time you can do such a transfer is if you do *not* have a
video card, but have video support on the motherboard. In that case,
there is no video RAM, but some amount of your system RAM (the amount
is normally up to you) is devoted to video purposes.
