HY Can I run HunyuanVideo on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 (16GB)?
Needs ~16 GB at Q4 GGUF, but only ~15 GB is usable on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 (16GB). With aggressive CPU offload it can run on as little as ~8 GB, much slower.

FAQ
Can Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 (16GB) run HunyuanVideo?
Needs ~16 GB at Q4 GGUF, but only ~15 GB is usable on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 (16GB). With aggressive CPU offload it can run on as little as ~8 GB, much slower.
How much VRAM does HunyuanVideo need?
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 (16GB) does not have enough memory. At Q4 GGUF the realistic peak is ~16 GB of VRAM, versus ~60 GB with every component kept resident (no offload). With aggressive CPU offload it drops to ~8 GB, much slower.
What do I use to run HunyuanVideo locally?
HunyuanVideo runs in ComfyUI. It loads as a video diffusion checkpoint plus its text encoder and VAE, not a single chat command.
