Wan 2.1 Video Generation VRAM & RunPod GPU Calculator

Plan VRAM and calculate RunPod vs Vast.ai rental fees for Wan 2.1 14B text-to-video in ComfyUI. Avoid OOM crashes with FP8 and GGUF quantizations.

Hardware Benchmark & Architecture Analysis

Wan 2.1 14B produces state-of-the-art cinematic video in ComfyUI, but generates extreme temporal latent cache loads. Native FP16 requires 32GB+ VRAM, requiring an A6000 (48GB) or A100. By deploying Wan 2.1 in FP8 or GGUF Q4, video generation fits comfortably on an RTX 4090 (24GB) or RTX 5090 (32GB) on RunPod at under $0.70/hr.
