Should I get a workstation video card?

Right now I'm using an 8800GT. I do 3D animation with Maya and sometimes it will just crash. I know why it crashes cause I've done it a couple times before and it always happens. Can't really explain what I'm doing but it gets kind of annoying. I am just wondering if there is an affordable workstation video card that would perform better with 3d applications than my 8800gt. I spent about $200 on the 8800gt, and am looking for something in that price range.

that one is less expensive but I don't really know how it would compare to the 8800gt in terms of handling maya
