Wan 2.2 T2V 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. Wan 2.2 splits the work between two 14B models: one for the early, noisy steps and one for the late ones. Only one needs to be in VRAM at a time, but both must fit in system RAM.
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 →

“Needed” adds 3.5 GB of working memory for Wan 2.2 T2V and a 0.8 GB reserve. Sizes 2026-10-01. Wan 2.2 A14B uses two files of this size (high-noise and low-noise); only one sits in VRAM at a time, both must fit in system RAM.
