Can the RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB run Wan 2.2 I2V A14B?
Nothing fits entirely, but Q2_K (5.3 GB) overflows by only about 1.6 GB. ComfyUI keeps that part in system RAM automatically: slower than a full fit, but usable.
Worth trying on this GPU: with an up-to-date ComfyUI, Dynamic VRAM (on by default for NVIDIA since March 2026) streams whatever does not fit from system RAM, and ComfyUI's own start-up message recommends native FP8/INT8 files over GGUF, saying they “will be faster even if they are larger than your memory”. So before settling for a heavily compressed GGUF, try the native FP8 file (14.3 GB). The file recommended above is the best one that fits entirely — the safe choice on older ComfyUI versions, AMD and Intel. Comfy blog: Dynamic VRAM →
Using Kijai's WanVideoWrapper instead of the native nodes? Its WanVideo BlockSwap node keeps part of the model in system RAM. To run the FP8 file (14.3 GB) on RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB, start with blocks_to_swap ≈ 31 (of 40). Each block is about 0.4 GB; raise the number if you still run out of memory, lower it for speed. estimate WanVideoWrapper →

Alternatives: UMT5-XXL FP16 (11.4 GB). The 16-bit text encoder is a little more faithful; the smaller one is chosen here because it loads faster and needs less RAM. Sizes read from Hugging Face (2026-09-25). “Download” links start the file directly; the file name links are the same files the official ComfyUI workflows use.
System RAM: 32 GB or more. ComfyUI keeps the model files, the text encoder and the VAE in system RAM and moves them to the GPU as needed. With this set of files that is about 17.6 GB, plus roughly 6 GB for Windows, ComfyUI and a browser: 23.6 GB in total. With less RAM it still runs, but Windows starts swapping to disk and loading gets very slow. calculated

Sizes from the Hugging Face file listing, read 2026-09-25. “Needed” = file + 3.5 GB working memory for this model + 0.8 GB kept free for the system. Wan 2.2 A14B uses two files of this size (high-noise and low-noise); only one sits in VRAM at a time, both must fit in system RAM.
03The text encoder
UMT5-XXL + CLIP Vision H: 11.4 GB as 16-bit, 6.7 GB as FP8, 3.7 GB as GGUF Q4_K_M (plus CLIP Vision H (1.3 GB) for the input image). ComfyUI encodes the prompt first and can push the encoder out of VRAM before sampling, so it does not have to fit together with the model. On 8 GB the FP8 encoder fits on its own, so prompt encoding stays fast.
04About this GPU
The RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB is an Ada Lovelace GPU with hardware FP8, so ComfyUI can compute Comfy-Org's FP8 files natively: small and fast. (Plain FP8 files use FP8 maths with the --fast fp8_matrix_mult option.)

05What more VRAM would change
With 20 GB you could run Wan 2.2 I2V at 8-bit or better (FP8, 14.3 GB) with no offloading.

07Questions
How much VRAM does Wan 2.2 I2V need?
Around 9.6 GB with the smallest file (Q2_K) and 18.6 GB with an 8-bit file (FP8), counting working memory and a small system reserve. The full 16-bit file needs about 32.9 GB.
Which Wan 2.2 I2V file should I download for the RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB?
Q2_K (5.3 GB) from QuantStack/Wan2.2-I2V-A14B-GGUF. Load it with Unet Loader (GGUF) from the ComfyUI-GGUF node pack.
Is FP8 faster than GGUF on the RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB?
It can be. This GPU has FP8 hardware, and ComfyUI computes FP8 natively for files made for it (Comfy-Org's fp8_scaled files), or for any FP8 file with the --fast fp8_matrix_mult option. GGUF files are unpacked on the fly, which costs some speed.
How much do I need to download for Wan 2.2 I2V on the RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB?
About 17.6 GB for the model file, text encoder and VAE listed on this page, and the same again free on disk. With a 8 GB card, 32 GB of system RAM or more is recommended.
