Hi DRAK,
Weirdly enough I have a partial solution, at least in BFV. I don't really consider this a solution because 1) it's not reliably reproducible and 2) it's not clear I'm actually getting the HDR experience the way it's supposed to be. But anyway, I've found that sometimes if I switch my resolution / refresh rate in game repeatedly while I'm in the practice range then I get different performance on HDR, to the point where it does seem to be at least a marginal improvement over SDR. Typically I'm switching back and forth from 2560x1440 at 144Hz to 1920x1080 at either 60Hz or 144 Hz. I'm doing this entirely randomly, and I haven't found any particular sequence of these switches that works. I have a hunch that sometimes when you switch resolution a different bit of software/firmware takes control, as it were, and then you get a different experience. It seems to match up with my understanding of the problem which is that there are software communication issues that cause different bits of software (whether the OS, graphics drivers, the game, or whatever else) to try to take control over whether HDR is displayed. Conflicts then result in an unintended experience.
Anyway, that's my partial solution and two-cents best guess as to the broad outlines of the problem. Hope it helps, or at least keeps you from going nuts in frustration.

Update 2:
Excuse my manners but i need to exprees it freely.. witchraft! sorcery! black magic... x"DD In a last ray of faith, i gave a try again
-nvidia panel ycbcr10/12bits, windows hdr off, tv console mode + game mode (virtual hdr off)
-(new) auto configure the game trough geforce experience (all max +4k except for raytracing from ultra to high)
-go in game, all as usual (bad), BUT, i tried again to swap from 4k to 2k, and the second time magically worked (as u referred before)
*hdr in windows AND bfv off :-/ but for the first time, with PROPER HDR, gamma, colors... and volume overlay does not affect anything
I tried ur trick yesterday many times with restart included, but it didnt work, dunno if the geforce experience stuff changed anything, but its unsense since i tried to delte full config from documents, etc.. anyway, ill try a couple more times and post an update tomorrow. Maybe some kind of bug with ultra raytracing settings?? its the only thing that maybe i didnt tried before, just off/ultra, not high.
PS: for the first time in months since i bought the game, i seeing it as intended.. damn it looks awesome! I hope it stills like that
