#15255

Default to just the first GPU when multiple nvidia GPUs are detected. This is a workaround to a confirmed at-large in Cuda when multiple GPUs are initialized. Add the all mode to --cuda-devices as a way to opt-back.

Example test Conditions:

Windows, RTX5080+RTX5060, 32GB RAM
Flux2
Refresh frontend before running

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CLI help now documents --cuda-device all. GPU discovery returns ordered lists and preserves duplicate names. Windows startup detects multiple NVIDIA GPUs, applies implicit GPU 0 selection when needed, and logs related warnings. The all selection skips default-device reordering and leaves visible CUDA devices unchanged while logging the selection.

Learning: In PyOpenGL, bare Python scalars can be accepted for 1-element array parameters by NumberHandler. This means you can pass an int/float directly to OpenGL texture deletion (e.g., glDeleteTextures(tex)) without wrapping in a list. Verify function-specific expectations and ensure types match what the OpenGL call expects; use explicit lists only when the API requires an array.

Timestamp: 2026-05-13T12:31:45.069Z
Learning: When reviewing code that uses comfy/pinned_memory.py’s `HostBuffer.extend(size=..., reallocate=...)`: by default (`reallocate` is not True / False), `extend(size=...)` is a *relative increment* that grows the buffer by `size` bytes—so slicing like `[offset:offset+size]` after `hostbuf.extend(size=size)` is correct and the argument should not be rewritten to `offset + size`. Only in the single-segment reallocation mode (`reallocate=True`, e.g., as used by `resize_pin_buffer()` in `comfy/model_management.py`) should `size` be treated as an *absolute target* and the call/arguments should be checked accordingly.

Remove the warning banner.

The multi-line banner makes the new startup warning noisy. Log warning directly. The message already gives the required action.

As per path instructions, startup warnings must be brief, actionable, and non-noisy. As per coding guidelines, warning messages must be short and actionable.

@rattus128 The issue with this PR is that when I cancel a run, I have to wait for the next step to finish (it wasn't the case when I was using the --disable-pinned-memory flag, that one cancels instantly).
