Description
### Custom Node Testing
- [ ] I have tried disabling custom nodes and the issue persists (see [how to disable custom nodes](https://docs.comfy.org/troubleshooting/custom-node-issues#step-1%3A-test-with-all-custom-nodes-disabled) if you need help)
### Expected Behavior
Ability to generate anything without ComfyUI crashing after loading/attempting to load the data to the GPU RAM
### Actual Behavior
ComfyUI backend immediately crashes after loading/attempting to load the model to the GPU RAM
### Steps to Reproduce
1. Download ComfyUI for windows.
2. Install on a up to date Windows 11 system with a AMD 6900XT installed. (unknown if the RX560 is causing any issue by existing)
3. Run ComfyUI and try to generate a simple image model capable of fitting in VRAM.
4. Watch in task manager as the data loading into the GPU RAM and then crashes.

### Other
The only thing I can think of note is that the 6900XT is the primary graphics card. I run 6 displays so I use the RX560 to offload processing for the other 3. The 6900XT is primary for gaming but I can swap the primary boot choice in bios so I will test if there is any difference, thought i suspect not as I have previously been able to get only image generation occasionally working using patientx's manual setup method here: https://github.com/patientx/ComfyUI-Zluda/issues/170#issuecomment-2972793016
But that is not very stable or can do anything more than images when others report doing so much more on this card and it's family models.
Anything info on anything else i can try would be appreciated.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash on Windows 11 with the AMD RX 6900 XT and all custom nodes disabled, using the model-loading sequence described in the issue. Inspect the startup log around the ComfyUI 0.9.1 model-load entry point and compare behavior with the RX560 or alternate primary-GPU setup; done means a reproducible cause, traceback, or confirmed environment-specific failure is identified.
