Wan 2.2 S2V 14B on 10 GB of VRAM
The smallest sensible file, Q4_K_M (13.9 GB), needs about 18.7 GB — 8.7 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.
Worth trying on NVIDIA GPUs: 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 (16.4 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 →

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 file, 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 21.5 GB, plus roughly 6 GB for Windows, ComfyUI and a browser: 27.5 GB in total. With less RAM it still runs, but Windows starts swapping to disk and loading gets very slow. calculated

03The text encoder
UMT5-XXL + wav2vec2: 11.4 GB as 16-bit, 6.7 GB as FP8, 3.7 GB as GGUF Q4_K_M (plus the wav2vec2 audio encoder (0.6 GB)). 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 10 GB the FP8 encoder fits on its own, so prompt encoding stays fast.
