SPOT THE DIFFRENCE! - Fallout 3...

First one is ultra. Looks like it is drawing more shadows and at a further distance which is probably where the performance hit is coming from.
 
Yeah capture 2 looks like it has more Bloom effect to me, especially the sky. Also, if you just use the presets then high and ultra don't look vastly different, you need to go into advanced and drag all the sliders up as even on ultra it still leaves loads of details in low settings.

Mine runs on Ultra with all the sliders dragged up to their highest values and it's fine, your rig should be able to handle it too depending on resolution.

Ps. I think the dead ant looks better in the 2nd shot too. :)

I'd laugh if the OP actually put two screenshots exactly the same and told us that one was higher quality. Cue our brains making things look better in one over the other. :D
 
I can't see the extra shadows but you can clearly see additional trees under the bridge in the first shot.

The difference is small but it would be a bit more obvious on a landscape shot from a hilltop for instance.
 
Comparing the 2 i can tell the difference but ingame i wouldnt notice. For example to the right of the water tower and just to the left of the chainlink fence theres a few rocks that dont appear on the bottom pic.
