So i recently got a acer nitro vg271u second hand and this is my first 144hz upgrade from 1080p. but when I plugged her in every mode on the monitor is dark/dim and not full of color at all besides HDR because HDR looks perfect. which would be fine, BUT since I have been running this new monitor semi high intensity games like Destiney 2 lag so hard but ran perfectly fine before. I tried to switch a the standard mode and turn off HDR in windows, i tried using every mode possible, i tried turning up the brightness all the way, i tried messing with the contrast and colors but nothing is working. My hopes are that if I can fix the other modes to look normal i wouldn't have to use hdr so my GPU can handle playing games on the new monitor. Ive been searching for days on the internet on what to do but i cant find a thread of evidence on it :/ any help at all would help, thank you!

My comp specs:
windows 11
32gb DDR4
raedon RX 6600 XT (drivers up to date)
ryzen 7 3700x
