The most basic difference between relativity and any "quantum" theory is that relativity, both special and general, is a continuous/non-quantized theory, and quantum is not (meaning, quantum theories postulate that phenomena are effected by energies and particles that only come in certain "sizes").

quantum theories deal with very small scales of mass and time (think electrons orbiting a nucleus), while relativity is most useful at very large scales of energy and time (think black holes or something that has been accelerated from rest to close to the speed of light). Unifying the two descriptions of reality is an unresolved problem.
