Description
### Custom Node Testing
- [x] 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
Expecting starting server after running python main.py or error messages.
I am using a 50 series graphic card.
Server does not starting when I was using pytorch nightly
`pip install --pre torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/cu129`
No warning or error messages
### Actual Behavior
I am using a 50 series graphic card.
Server does not starting when I was using pytorch nightly
`pip install --pre torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/cu129`
No warning or error messages
**Using Stable pytorch fixed the problem**
```powershell
pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu129
