04About the RTX 3090 24 GB
The RTX 3090 24 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.

05Questions
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 3090 24 GB?
16-bit (16.7 GB) from Comfy-Org/HunyuanVideo_1.5_repackaged.
FP8 or Q8_0 for HunyuanVideo 1.5 on the RTX 3090 24 GB?
Q8_0 (9.0 GB). The RTX 3090 24 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 3090 24 GB?
