Wan 2.2 TI2V 5B VRAM requirements

01The files, and how much VRAM each needs

“Needed” = file + 3 GB working memory + 0.8 GB system reserve.

02By amount of VRAM

04By graphics card

On RTX 40/50 GPUs the FP8 file is preferred over Q8_0 when both fit (hardware FP8). All verdicts are calculated; see how the numbers work.

05Text encoder, VAE and other files

The files the official ComfyUI workflows load next to the model. Sizes read from Hugging Face (2026-09-25). Every GPU page for this model lists the exact set to download for that card, with the total.

UMT5-XXL: 11.4 GB as 16-bit, 6.7 GB as FP8, 3.7 GB as GGUF Q4_K_M. 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 16 GB the FP8 encoder fits on its own, so prompt encoding stays fast.

06Where the files go in ComfyUI

Standard ComfyUI folders. After copying files, press R in ComfyUI (or restart it) to refresh the lists. Some uploads need their uploader's own loader node — see the notes above.

07AMD, Intel and NVIDIA: which file types are fast

Every file type loads on every listed GPU, so the memory verdicts apply to all of them. What differs is speed: FP8 maths needs RTX 40/50 or RX 9000 (with ROCm 6.4+ and PyTorch 2.7+); ComfyUI's INT8 maths runs on NVIDIA and AMD, not on Intel; GGUF is unpacked on the fly on any GPU, which costs some speed. NVFP4 files are fast only on RTX 50. AMD runs ComfyUI on Windows through ROCm, Intel through PyTorch XPU; some custom nodes are NVIDIA-only. Source: ComfyUI model_management.py.

08Measured and reported results

Reported results are other people's numbers, copied as published, with a link. Settings, drivers and ComfyUI versions differ, so compare them with care. Send yours.

10Every file tracked for Wan 2.2 5B

Single dense 5B model (text+image to video, 720p24). Uses the new Wan 2.2 VAE (not the 2.1 VAE). No FP8 from Comfy-Org.
