As mentioned before by UbErN00b, if you're running at the new higher resolution you may need to tone the eyecandy down a bit. You can also play at a lower resolution but the same aspect ratio (1920 x 1080, 1600 x 900, etc.) to keep things from stretching.
Blu-ray should not be affected. Its native resolution is 1920 x 1080. It just stretches or contracts to your computer's set resolution. The only more work your GPU would do is if your desktop is running at a higher resolution and that's insignificant since there isn't much happening on your desktop to tax it (1080 requires about 8MB VRAM and little GPU cycles for idle IIRC).
