I wonder if this "ShadowPlay" technology is used only in instant replay (where you record last few minutes). Or is it used in normal NVIDIA recording also?

it's a brand name really. internally it uses NVENC

a lot more things can use NVENC

Shadowplay has many unresolved issues, thus it is not supported here.

If you are looking for a reliable alternative, please install OBS Studio and read the following guides to configure it:

NVIDIA NVENC OBS Guide
Replay Buffer (Instant Replay) guide

See OBS for an example

So Shadowplay is used in normal recording also?
