Wan 2.2 I2V A14B on 8 GB of VRAM
Not entirely. Even Q2_K is 1.6 GB over 8 GB, so ComfyUI keeps part of it in system RAM. The image-to-video Wan 2.2, and the most downloaded Wan 2.2 GGUF. Same two-model setup as the text-to-video version.
Nothing fits entirely, but Q2_K (5.3 GB) overflows by only about 1.6 GB. ComfyUI keeps that part in system RAM automatically: slower than a full fit, but usable.
Also try the FP8 file (14.3 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 →
Using Kijai's WanVideoWrapper instead of the native nodes? Its WanVideo BlockSwap node keeps part of the model in system RAM. To run the FP8 file (14.3 GB) on 8 GB, start with blocks_to_swap ≈ 31 (of 40). Each block is about 0.4 GB; raise the number if you still run out of memory, lower it for speed. estimate WanVideoWrapper →
