HDR gaming is a complete meme, no game ever gets it right

Set the brightness to correspond to your monitors spec. It's not rocket science.

Open Windows Settings, Display, select the display you want if you have multiple, click Advanced Settings and check out the peak brightness in nits. Set that as Max Brightness in the game.

More importantly, know the specs of things you buy.

Even more importantly, use RenoDX.

Use RenoDX to set brightness and exposure, if you want to. Keep the game setting at 50.

>check out the peak brightness in nits
Bear in mind this will sometimes be set wrong and you'll have to change the EDID to match your monitor's spec because fuck you.
HDR on Windows is a fucking mess.

you need to know the peak 10% brightness window your monitor supports
sometimes this is 500, a lot of the time it's 1000 nits
if you're on windows, download windows HDR calibration tool to determine this and set the calibrated driver as your monitor's color profile
exposure is personal preference
UI brightness is personal preference
i'm assuming this is an OLED or mini-LED panel, if it's not then just turn HDR off entirely

Just set it to use HDR10 and ignore it because brightess is set automatically. You do have HDR10 monitor right?

For what should just be turn on and the OS and game just reads what the display reports and works from there we are another decade away from that.
