Wan 2.2 Animate 14B on 16 GB of VRAM
Not at full quality. The 16-bit and 8-bit files are too big for 16 GB; the largest that fits is Q3_K_M (8.6 GB). Character animation and replacement: a reference image of a person is driven by the motion and face of another video.
Take Q3_K_M (8.6 GB). In use it comes to about 13.9 GB, with 2.1 GB left over on 16 GB. Quality: noticeable loss of detail. For better quality, Q4_K_M (11.5 GB) also runs, with about 0.8 GB spilling into system RAM - a little slower, still practical.
Also try the FP8 file (17.3 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 →
