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 Krea 2 need?
Around 7.5 GB with the smallest file (Q2_K) and 15.7 GB with an 8-bit file (FP8). The full 16-bit file needs about 28.9 GB.
Which Krea 2 file should I download for the RTX 3090 24 GB?
Q8_0 (13.7 GB) from vantagewithai/Krea-2-Turbo-GGUF. Load it with Unet Loader (GGUF) from the ComfyUI-GGUF node pack.
FP8 or Q8_0 for Krea 2 on the RTX 3090 24 GB?
Q8_0 (13.7 GB). The RTX 3090 24 GB has no FP8 maths, so FP8 (13.1 GB) only saves memory and is a step further from the original.
How much do I need to download for Krea 2 on the RTX 3090 24 GB?
19.2 GB: krea2_turbo-Q8_0.gguf, qwen3vl_4b_fp8_scaled.safetensors, qwen_image_vae.safetensors.
