That being said: Did you also tinker with HDR settings via Windows? Turning that off is a good "Step #1"
Not only that but games all have their own implementations and ways of correcting for different dynamic ranges.
The very simple rule is that you just choose whatever looks better. Some games really pop with HDR, some don't. Unless it makes a really appreciable difference, I won't use it.
The one thing you should do is download the HDR calibration software from Microsoft. This gets Windows setup for HDR. Having said that, I don't use HDR in Windows, there's no point.
I use AutoActions so I can leave it off in Windows and switch it on for each game - if needed.
Each game has it's own calibration to match the dynamic range of your monitor to the game. Just set it up and see if the game is any better. If not, then switch it off.
One of the developers of some game (I forget which) told me that it's easier to just leave HDR enabled all the time, because monitors are now designed for that and give better results with a wider range of apps. I don't do that, though.
So I knew on AMD you most likely needed to change to 10bit, as long as your Display supported it. Left on 8bit, HDR or not, colors look washed out in most stuff.
I can go all the way to 12 bit, I think its just how its supposed to work, some games it toggles, some new games it seems just have build in color profiles that override.
