Same generation, different shape: the 4500 adds 8 GB, 224 GB/s more bandwidth, and 60 W more power, but costs you the second slot. Pick the 4000 for density, the 4500 when 24 GB is not enough.
RTX PRO 5000
The jump from 32 GB to 48 GB (or 72 GB) and 896 to 1,344 GB/s for 100 W more. If a 70B-class model is in the plan, skip the 4500 entirely; if not, the 4500 is the value point of the line.
