Dont know what OBS is. Never used it.

But a capture card can record video from some external video source

Depending on what inputs are on it

That's pretty much it. OBS will record what is currently being displayed on your computer; games and such. A capture card will record from an external source like a game console or another computer.

In addition to what is said above, I believe using software recording consumes PC resources and processing power, while using a dedicated card should mean the load on the PC is minimal.
