Wan 2.2 TI2V 5B VRAM Requirements

Wan 2.2 TI2V 5B needs about 8.0 GB of VRAM with FP8 weights at 1280×704 and 121 frames, loading one model at a time. In FP16 it needs 12.6 GB (25.6 GB with everything loaded), and GGUF Q4 brings it to 6.5 GB. The smallest consumer GPU that runs it is the RTX 3050 8GB with Q4 weights, or the RTX 3050 8GB in FP8.
