Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Wan Video 2.1 1.3B
How much VRAM does Wan Video 2.1 1.3B need for video?
Wan Video 2.1 1.3B (1.3B parameters) requires approximately 9.8 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 Wan Video 2.1 1.3B on RTX 4090?
Yes, the RTX 4090 (24 GB VRAM) can run Wan Video 2.1 1.3B at FP16. Expected generation time is around ~1m 13s for a 25-frame clip.
How long does it take to generate a video with Wan Video 2.1 1.3B?
On a reference GPU (RTX 4090 24GB), Wan Video 2.1 1.3B generates a 25-frame video at 768×512 in approximately ~1m 13s at FP16 with 30 inference steps. Faster GPUs with higher memory bandwidth will reduce generation time.
What resolution and frame count does Wan Video 2.1 1.3B support?
Wan Video 2.1 1.3B supports up to 832×480 resolution and 81 frames per generation at 16 FPS. Higher resolutions and frame counts require proportionally more VRAM.
