How much VRAM does Wan 2.1 T2V 1.3B need?

Wan 2.1 T2V 1.3B is a video generation model by Alibaba (Wan) (1.42B; text encoder: umT5-XXL). The lightest video model; made for 480p.

6.3 GBVRAM needed at FP8, 480p, 5 s (with model swapping)

VRAM by precision and resolution

Precision	Model size	480p, 5 s
BF16 / FP16 (uncompressed)	2.8 GB	6.3 GB all in VRAM 12.4 GB
FP8 (half size, near-lossless)	1.4 GB	6.3 GB all in VRAM 11.0 GB

Bold = VRAM needed when ComfyUI swaps the text encoder and the model. "All in VRAM" = keeping both loaded. Text encoder assumed at FP8. Official: 8.19 GB (480p, 5 s, with model offloading and the T5 encoder on CPU) (measured with the official implementation).

ComfyUI also runs on AMD Radeon (ROCm) and Intel Arc, but setup is harder than on NVIDIA and some features (such as FP8 acceleration) are not supported.
