Why does Minecraft not work with OBS running?

If you run Minecraft uncapped without OBS, and then run Minecraft uncapped WITH OBS RUNNING, then the framerate you get with OBS running will be LOWER than without OBS running, because OBS needs the GPU to render frames, and during that time, Minecraft will not be able to render as many frames as it would be able to if OBS were not running.
