What the video tests showed
Alex Ziskind ran the same Wan 2.2 5B video test on three graphics cards. The times below came from that test.
| Graphics card | Time | What this means |
|---|---|---|
| RTX 5090 Lightning Z | 109 seconds | Fastest in this test. |
| RTX 5090 | 113 seconds | Four seconds slower. |
| RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell | 120 seconds | Slower here, but its 96 GB memory can hold much bigger video models. |

Small model files can make people look worse
| Model | File size in the test | How people looked |
|---|---|---|
| Q8 | Wan: about 14 GB LTX: 23 GB | Best small file in this test. It stayed close to the full model. |
| Q4 | Wan: 9 GB LTX: 14 GB | Works on a lower-cost card. Faces were softer and changed more. |
| Q2 | Wan: 5 GB LTX: 8.3 GB | Do not use it for ads with people. The test showed poor video and sound. |

The small AMD computer has more shared memory
The HP Z2 Mini G1a can give up to 96 GB of its 128 GB shared memory to Radeon graphics. This can help a large model fit. It does not make the model run fast.
Pick AMD when a large file must fit in a small box. Pick NVIDIA when you want more video tools to work with less setup.
