Nvidia also wrote down $128 million in inventories by destroying mostly 1080 and 1080 Ti chips to allow them to keep highly inflated prices on 2080. In the terms of final cards prices it is around $350-600 millions.
Nvidia still has around $800 millions in extra inventories (compared to usual norm) that they can also try to eliminate to not allow prices to fall.
