Can the RTX 4050 Laptop 6 GB run Wan 2.2 S2V 14B?
Not realistically: the smallest Wan 2.2 S2V file still needs about 14 GB.
Even the smallest file (Q2_K, 9.5 GB) needs about 14.3 GB, far beyond 6 GB. It may start with heavy offloading, but this is not a realistic everyday setup. Pick a smaller model or a GPU with more memory.
Also try the FP8 file (16.4 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 24 GB you could run Wan 2.2 S2V at 8-bit or better (FP8, 16.4 GB) with no offloading: for example on the RTX 4090 24 GB, RTX 3090 24 GB, RX 7900 XTX 24 GB.

04The text encoder
Take the smallest UMT5-XXL + wav2vec2 file (3.7 GB): it is the only one that fits in 6 GB on its own. Sizes: 16-bit 11.4 GB, FP8 6.7 GB, GGUF Q4_K_M 3.7 GB (plus the wav2vec2 audio encoder (0.6 GB)). Why the encoder does not count against VRAM →

06About the RTX 4050 Laptop 6 GB
The RTX 4050 Laptop 6 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.) As a laptop GPU it runs at a lower power limit than desktop cards (35–115 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 Wan 2.2 S2V need?
Around 14.3 GB with the smallest file (Q2_K) and 21.2 GB with an 8-bit file (FP8). The full 16-bit file needs about 37.4 GB.
Which Wan 2.2 S2V file should I download for the RTX 4050 Laptop 6 GB?
Q2_K (9.5 GB) from QuantStack/Wan2.2-S2V-14B-GGUF. Load it with Unet Loader (GGUF) from the ComfyUI-GGUF node pack.
FP8 or Q8_0 for Wan 2.2 S2V on the RTX 4050 Laptop 6 GB?
FP8 (16.4 GB): the RTX 4050 Laptop 6 GB computes it natively, while Q8_0 (19.6 GB) is unpacked on the fly.
How much do I need to download for Wan 2.2 S2V on the RTX 4050 Laptop 6 GB?
17.1 GB: Wan2.2-S2V-14B-Q2_K.gguf, umt5_xxl_fp8_e4m3fn_scaled.safetensors, wan_2.1_vae.safetensors, wav2vec2_large_english_fp16.safetensors.
