GPUs suited for AI video generation

This list includes GPUs suited for AI video generation (Wan, LTX, Hunyuan, and others). As a rule of thumb, (quantized) models in this field need at least 16 GB of VRAM for practical use. At the same VRAM capacity, newer generations also run faster.

Listing criteria: models with 16 GB of VRAM or more (the practical tier), ordered by VRAM capacity.

What to Check Beyond the Score

  • Many tools in this field assume CUDA, so non-NVIDIA GPUs (AMD/Intel) face extra hurdles to get running.
  • Generation takes a long time — differences in VRAM and generation translate directly into waiting time.
  • Tiers reflect the model landscape as of 2026 and may shift as the technology evolves.
