I currently use a 10 meter HDMI cable for gaming with my PC upstairs to my TV downstairs...i was just wondering if the lenght of cable would be putting extra strain on the graphics card in the long run ?

A properly made HDMI cable will present the same impedance to the GPU regardless of length so length should make absolutely no difference as far as the GPU is concerned.
The problem with long cables is attenuation: the longer the cable, the weaker the signal becomes by the time it reaches the other end. At some point, the signal may become too weak for the receiving end to lock on the signal reliably and you start having issues with intermittent sync or no sync.
