LTX-2 (19B) on 20 GB of VRAM
Not at full quality. The 16-bit and 8-bit files are too big for 20 GB; the largest that fits is Q5_K_M (14.3 GB). Lightricks' open audio+video model. Generates sound together with the picture. Its text encoder is Gemma 3 12B.
Q5_K_M (14.3 GB) fits with only 0.9 GB to spare (about 19.1 GB of 20 GB). Quality: close; small differences in fine detail. For better quality, Q6_K (16.0 GB) also runs, with about 0.8 GB spilling into system RAM - a little slower, still practical.
