Can the RTX 5080 16 GB run LTX-Video 13B (0.9.8)?
Not at full quality. The 16-bit and 8-bit files are too big for the RTX 5080 16 GB; the largest that fits is Q6_K (10.9 GB).
Q6_K (10.9 GB) fits with only 0.8 GB to spare (about 15.2 GB of 16 GB). Quality: very close to the original.
Also try the FP8 file (15.7 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 →

06Questions
How much VRAM does LTX-Video 13B need?
Around 9.0 GB with the smallest file (Q2_K) and 20.0 GB with an 8-bit file (FP8). The full 16-bit file needs about 32.9 GB.
Which LTX-Video 13B file should I download for the RTX 5080 16 GB?
Q6_K (10.9 GB) from QuantStack/LTXV-13B-0.9.8-dev-GGUF. Load it with Unet Loader (GGUF) from the ComfyUI-GGUF node pack.
FP8 or Q8_0 for LTX-Video 13B on the RTX 5080 16 GB?
FP8 (15.7 GB): the RTX 5080 16 GB computes it natively, while Q8_0 (14.0 GB) is unpacked on the fly.
How much do I need to download for LTX-Video 13B on the RTX 5080 16 GB?
18.5 GB: LTXV-13B-0.9.8-dev-Q6_K.gguf, t5xxl_fp8_e4m3fn_scaled.safetensors, LTXV-13B-0.9.8-dev-VAE.safetensors.
