Best video models to run locally on a 160GB graphics card

A leaderboard of the best video models you can run locally on a 160GB graphics card (with 32GB of system RAM). MiniMax H3 is #1 right now, followed by Cosmos3-Super and Wan 2.2 I2V A14B. Models are ranked by one score that combines 55 published benchmarks. Each model shows the download that fits and the command to run it.
