It consumes less resources and is more fluid than OBS. For example, a 1 GB GTX 750 records perfectly in 1920 x 1084 at 60 fps up to 4K, without using the processor, only the graphics card. Trying to do the same with OBS, the recordings do not exceed 15 FPS, nor is it possible to stream with OBS.

Pro Allows for delayed capture
Allows you to arrange the screen as you want it captured. Things like opening a popup menu, to have it part of the capture.
Pro Can capture editable text
Just about any text on the screen can be editable text. I say "just about" because it's like OCR software in that unusual and extra fancy fonts or text against a low contrast background may be a challenge. But overall it works in most situations.
