[Mac] Problems with OBS and World of Warcraft

Hi all
I've this strange issue. If I play WoW with OBS opened and running, the game starting to have a "stuttering" behaviors and FPS becomes fluctuant. With this problem the game is unplayable (and naturally it's completely unsuitable for streaming).
This is not the "flash issue" (that Blizzard hasn't fixed yet) because I've tested opening the client directly without using the Launcher. If I close OBS, the game returns to run normally.
Warning:
1) I'm using OBS with WoW Beta (Legion) without any problem but the latest build is running on Metal API.
2) I've installed nVidia custom driver (also called Web Driver) because it's more fast than the Apple's one. I don't have tested this with original Apple driver.

Any suggestions?
I haven't suffered this issue before and OBS+WoW seemed to be a well-balanced couple! :)

My config: Apple iMac (late 2013) with i7, 16 Gb RAM, GTX 780M 4 Gb.

I'll try OBS with Apple driver, tonight. It seems that the speed increases (on 10.11.4) offered by nVidia driver isn't so relevant to justify the switch.
