I will be trying to make real life prints of my pictures from GT Photomode. I was wondering if anyone had experiance with this, and is there an issue with quality the bigger you go. I am hopeing to make big prints. 10x10's larger.
 
I think the photos are 1920x1080= 5MP.

With that in Mind don't go Larger than 14"x11"... if you are printing 1:1 ratio... 11"x11" is the max before you get distortion.

Keep in mind that the photos will have artifacts, and since they are violently compressed images, If you are looking to display them somewhere they can be inspected, you might want to stay at 8"x8".

Here is a helpful Chart: http://www.design215.com/toolbox/megapixels.php
 
Make sure to use the 2x magnification option when shooting - it doubles the resolution of the images (in 16:9 ratio, this means shooting at 3840 x 2160). It will take longer for GT to render each individual shot, but the pay off is being able to print full A4 pieces of paper if you so desire. I've printed a few relatively large images with minimal artifacts as large as 11 x 17 (though at that point, I've been using Photoshop to touch things up a tiny bit, for portfolio purposes).
