What is the differences between these two types of motherboard.

The main difference between the two is a lack of SLI support from the 970 chipset according to Wikipedia here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_AMD_chipsets which is quite a bit more informative than AMD's pages about the chipsets here http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/chipsets/9-series-integrated/Pages/9-series-integrated.aspx

But my msi 970A-G46 has SLI and Crossfire support,Can it support high end GPU like Nvidia Titan ?

It'll definately handle a single Titan but I wouldn't consider two of them (not that two should need to be considered) - I looked up NVidia's SLI support list here http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/sli/motherboards?field_manufacturer_value=&field_socket_type_value=AM3%2B&field_sli_support_value=All&=Apply - the only listed SLI supported AM3+ motherboards were Asus offerings - all with 990Fx chipsets
