Can NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada run Wan Video 14B?

14B parameter Video Gen model on 20GB GDDR6

Yes — runs at 8-bit quantization
~0.1-0.2 clips/min
SpeedFast inference, near-native speed
QualityNear-lossless — virtually identical to FP16

VRAM Requirements

Wan Video 14B is a 14B parameter model. At full precision (FP16), it requires 32GB of VRAM. Your NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada has 20GB, so you'll need to quantize it to 8-bit (Q8) to fit.

FP16 (Full Precision)32GB (need 12GB more)

Maximum quality, no quantization

Q8 (8-bit)18GB (2GB free)

Near-lossless, ~50% size reduction

Q4 (4-bit)11GB (9GB free)

Good quality, ~75% size reduction

Your GPU VRAM: 20GB GDDR6 at 360 GB/s bandwidth
Recommended system RAM: 40GB DDR5 (2x GPU VRAM minimum for model overflow)

What This Means in Practice

Wan Video 14B at 8-bit precision on NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada generates video clips with near-identical quality to full precision. Generation times are similar — video gen is bottlenecked by compute more than memory at this precision. A solid setup for local video generation.
