Can the RTX 3060 Laptop 6 GB run HunyuanVideo 1.5?
Not entirely. Even Q4_K_M is 3.4 GB over 6 GB, so ComfyUI keeps part of it in system RAM.
The smallest sensible file, Q4_K_M (5.1 GB), needs about 9.4 GB - 3.4 GB more than RTX 3060 Laptop 6 GB has. ComfyUI can still run it by streaming part of the model from system RAM. How much slower that is depends on your ComfyUI version, the file format and the PCIe link - see the note below.
Also try the FP8 file (8.3 GB) on this GPU. It does not fit entirely, but a current ComfyUI streams the overflow from RAM and native 8-bit files often beat a small GGUF that does fit. Dynamic VRAM →
01With more VRAM
With 16 GB you could run HunyuanVideo 1.5 at 8-bit or better (Q8_0, 9.0 GB) with no offloading: for example on the RTX 5080 16 GB, RTX 5070 Ti 16 GB, RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB.

04The text encoder
At 9.4 GB even the smallest Qwen2.5-VL 7B + glyph encoder file is too big for 6 GB, so it runs from system RAM. That slows down reading the prompt, not the picture. Sizes: 16-bit 16.6 GB, FP8 9.4 GB. Why the encoder does not count against VRAM →

06About the RTX 3060 Laptop 6 GB
The RTX 3060 Laptop 6 GB (Ampere) has no FP8 compute. FP8 files still load and save memory, but ComfyUI converts them back before the maths, so there is no speed gain - Q8_0 GGUF is the closer-to-original 8-bit choice. ComfyUI can compute INT8 files natively on NVIDIA, which is worth a try where a model offers one. As a laptop GPU it runs at a lower power limit than desktop cards (60–115 W depending on the laptop). The memory verdicts are the same; speed depends heavily on how much power the laptop maker allows.

07Questions
How much VRAM does HunyuanVideo 1.5 need?
Around 9.4 GB with the smallest file (Q4_K_M) and 12.6 GB with an 8-bit file (FP8). The full 16-bit file needs about 21.0 GB.
Which HunyuanVideo 1.5 file should I download for the RTX 3060 Laptop 6 GB?
Q4_K_M (5.1 GB) from jayn7/HunyuanVideo-1.5_T2V_720p-GGUF. Load it with Unet Loader (GGUF) from the ComfyUI-GGUF node pack.
FP8 or Q8_0 for HunyuanVideo 1.5 on the RTX 3060 Laptop 6 GB?
Q8_0 (9.0 GB). The RTX 3060 Laptop 6 GB has no FP8 maths, so FP8 (8.3 GB) only saves memory and is a step further from the original.
How much do I need to download for HunyuanVideo 1.5 on the RTX 3060 Laptop 6 GB?
17.4 GB: hunyuanvideo1.5_720p_t2v-Q4_K_M.gguf, qwen_2.5_vl_7b_fp8_scaled.safetensors, byt5_small_glyphxl_fp16.safetensors, hunyuanvideo15_vae_fp16.safetensors.
