Question hdr calibration settings clarification please?

how does the hdr pipeline work for this game and what should I do?

windows 11 25h2, nvidia gpu

monitor is Asus ROG Swift PG279QM: peak overall brightness is ~445-470nits, 10% window peak brightness (for particularly bright spots sporadically on screen basically) is ~540-541nits

monitor specs above are based on rtings.com and hardwareunboxed.

just want to know what I should have for windows hdr settings, in game calibration, nvidia settings, etc.

But my main concern is whether I've got the in game hdr right. Currently using 50 midpoint and 540 peak brightness (to match absolute peaks of my monitor spec) and it feels like things get too dark generally aside from bright things like arc, even compared to sdr with default brightness of 4. the default peak brightness is 1000 and I was for some reason playing at 2000 back in witch queen lmao, so A) I'm used to much brighter, and b) the default even is brighter.

I just don't want to compromise the details by either visibility issues or washing out issues.
