I think I have rendering bugs. Can someone please confirm?

I recently bought the game and so far only played the tutorial levels.
What I noticed is that the fog renders very flat and undetailed, unlike in videos I have seen where it looks way way better.

My graphics card is a Radeon R9 270X and I play on maximum graphic settings.
Can somebody please confirm if this is normal or a bug?

Looks pretty normal to me. They have been messing with that fog over a few patches trying to improve performance. But I don't see anything wrong.

The fog seems to change from ring to ring and has been modified several times over the patches as INSTIG8R notes.

Its not your video card; a number of CMDR's have reported the same. Some rings appear very flat, other almost transparent. Possibly related to graphical changes related to the Xbox One release?

hm.. those F10's indeed look a little dull. BUT we need to take into account that the icy rings are currently unused (i.e. for mining, since there are no resources yet) - maybe thats why there is so little attention on ice-fields.
the flat fog polygon looks like its meant to raise the overall light level like in the second picture, making it look artificial in the first pic.
its not hard to foresee that FDevs will evolve the renderer to make the ice rings look better... in the first pic you can clearly spot a few roids which have to seem a better structure (not shadows) painted. all others, not on the top-plane, are dull - seem to have shadows missing due to the dust brightening up the overall lighting.
easy to see, hard to explain.

OP: go into SuperCruise again, and fly away/approach slowly, you might notice some differences in the way the roids/fog gets drawn. from some distance they mostly look worse, not the opposite - thats what confused me... so again: watch that area from some distance, it might look better..
