SCAIL-2 (character animation) on 10 GB of VRAM
Not entirely. Even Q4_K_M is 6.8 GB over 10 GB, so ComfyUI keeps part of it in system RAM. June 2026 character animation and replacement built on Wan 2.1 14B: a reference image driven by the motion of another video, without pose skeletons. Native ComfyUI nodes.
The smallest sensible file, Q4_K_M (11.5 GB), needs about 16.8 GB - 6.8 GB more than 10 GB GPU has. ComfyUI can still run it by streaming part of the model from system RAM. How much slower that is depends on your ComfyUI version, the file format and the PCIe link - see the note below.
Also try the INT8 file (16.7 GB) on NVIDIA GPUs. 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 →
