PC Graphics cannot shine without HDR. Summary of HDR options I know and top recommendations
Top tier HDR recommendation list:
1---Native HDR when it looks great (rare). Use Reshade with Lilium's HDR Calibration app to check
2---RenoDX HDR mod to Reshade or any other Mod made by Lilium, Pumbo, or any of these Reshade HDR guys.
3---Majorpainthecactus Add-on to Reshade with Pumbo advance AutoHDR tone mapping or Lilium's inverse tone mapping. Install Reshade with full Add-ons support and select HDR shaders by Lilium, Pumbo, and MajorPainTheCactus Add-on
4---RTX HDR for Originally SDR Gamma 2.2 games. If the game doesn't support it or to reduce the performance impact use RTX HDR Tweaks Low Quality

5---Win11 AutoHDR for Originally SDR Gamma sRGB games. If the game doesn't support it force it with Leodedge app

6---SpecialK AutoHDR
7---SDR HDR trick (needs fix for Originally Gamma 2.2 games)
