Hi, my os- win11, gpu - Asrock AMD rx 7800xt challenger oc, Monitor- acer nitro vg271u M3bmiipx. My monitor is rated DCI-P3 95%.
In my monitor's color space settings i see a option named - "DCI", is it same as "DCI-P3"?
by default my monitor's color space was set to "general" and i tested and confirmed that "general" color space giving more color vibrance/saturation than "DCI". My monitor has these color space options- "general", "sRGB","DCI" ,"Rec.709","EBU","SMPTE-C" , among these which color space has most wider range of colors? is wider color space = more vibrance/saturation?

Also what does Aim point settings do and how?

Those are likely default calibration settings? Should more closely align what the monitor looks like to match those standards. sRGB is the widest, I think, out of those, but that is more a consumer space. The others are more common in professional settings.

Aim point puts a crosshair as selected onto the screen. Since it is the monitor doing it, this will work in games that don't have a crosshair in general, or for weapons that don't have one.
