SelectCLIPDevice - ComfyUI Built-in Node Documentation

Overview

The Select CLIP Device node lets you choose which device (CPU or a specific GPU) the CLIP text encoder runs on. By default, the device is assigned by the model loader, but you can override it to use the CPU or a particular GPU. If the requested device doesn’t exist on your machine, the node simply passes the CLIP through unchanged and logs a message instead of causing an error.
