It looks like the issue is when installing a new GPU ComfyUI doesn't automatically select it.

You have to go to Settings > System Settings > Default GPU and select your 50xx GPU.

Then when you update ComfyUI it should install the correct 128 nightly branch (I reinstalled ComfyUI).

Nevermind I have the same issue.

I see in the install logs it tries to install the 128 nightly but it ends up with torch 2.6.

The workaround is manually install Torch 2.8 / 128 nightly here: https://github.com/LykosAI/StabilityMatrix/issues/1159#issuecomment-2816443191
