Frequently asked questions

FAQ — Sulphur 2

How much VRAM does Sulphur 2 need for video?

Sulphur 2 (9B parameters) requires approximately 36.6 GB of VRAM at FP16 precision for generating 25 frames at 768×512. Video generation typically requires more VRAM than image generation due to temporal attention layers.

Can I run Sulphur 2 on RTX 4090?

Sulphur 2 exceeds the RTX 4090's 24 GB VRAM at FP16 for video generation. Consider reducing resolution, frame count, or using a GPU with more VRAM.

How long does it take to generate a video with Sulphur 2?

On a reference GPU (RTX 4090 24GB), Sulphur 2 generates a 25-frame video at 768×512 in approximately ~2m 38s at FP16 with 30 inference steps. Faster GPUs with higher memory bandwidth will reduce generation time.

What resolution and frame count does Sulphur 2 support?

Sulphur 2 supports up to 1280×720 resolution and 241 frames per generation at 30 FPS. Higher resolutions and frame counts require proportionally more VRAM.
