Can the Arc B580 12 GB run Wan 2.2 T2V A14B?
Not at full quality. The 16-bit and 8-bit files are too big for the Arc B580 12 GB; the largest that fits is Q3_K_M (7.2 GB).
Q3_K_M (7.2 GB) fits with only 0.5 GB to spare (about 11.5 GB of 12 GB). Quality: noticeable loss of detail. For better quality, Q4_K_M (9.7 GB) also runs, with about 2.0 GB spilling into system RAM - a little slower, still practical.
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 Arc B580 12 GB, start with blocks_to_swap ≈ 20 (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 →

“Needed” adds 3.5 GB of working memory for Wan 2.2 T2V and a 0.8 GB reserve. Sizes 2026-10-01. 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.
03Measured and reported results
Nobody has sent measured numbers for this pair yet. If you run Wan 2.2 T2V on a Arc B580 12 GB, send your time per image and peak VRAM and it will appear here, credited.
04With more VRAM
With 20 GB you could run Wan 2.2 T2V at 8-bit or better (Q8_0, 15.4 GB) with no offloading.

05About the Arc B580 12 GB
Intel Arc GPUs run ComfyUI through PyTorch's native XPU support on Windows 11 and Linux. Memory works the same as on NVIDIA, so the fit verdicts apply. FP8 files save memory but give no speed-up, and some custom nodes are NVIDIA-only.

06Questions
How much VRAM does Wan 2.2 T2V need?
Around 9.6 GB with the smallest file (Q2_K) and 18.6 GB with an 8-bit file (FP8). The full 16-bit file needs about 32.9 GB.
Which Wan 2.2 T2V file should I download for the Arc B580 12 GB?
Q3_K_M (7.2 GB) from QuantStack/Wan2.2-T2V-A14B-GGUF. Load it with Unet Loader (GGUF) from the ComfyUI-GGUF node pack.
FP8 or Q8_0 for Wan 2.2 T2V on the Arc B580 12 GB?
Q8_0 (15.4 GB). The Arc B580 12 GB has no FP8 maths, so FP8 (14.3 GB) only saves memory and is a step further from the original.
How much do I need to download for Wan 2.2 T2V on the Arc B580 12 GB?
21.3 GB: Wan2.2-T2V-A14B-HighNoise-Q3_K_M.gguf, Wan2.2-T2V-A14B-LowNoise-Q3_K_M.gguf, umt5_xxl_fp8_e4m3fn_scaled.safetensors, wan_2.1_vae.safetensors.
