Only if you have a 1080p passive display. Passive on a UHD set still delivers 1080p resolution vertically (as it has 2160 lines to play with). There isn't much 4K 3D around is there?
I have 3840x2160 UHD (aka 4K) TV, when I watch in 3D this delivers 3840x1080 to each eye (as each line is polarised alternately). As a result Full HD Framepacked is 1920x1080 scaled to 3840x1080, whilst HSBS is 960x1080 scaled to 3840x1080 (unless it is natively interlaced content - in that case moving HSBS content will be 960x540 scaled to 3840x1080 as 1080i degrades to 540p on motion)
Ironically UHD Passive 3D sets deliver 'the best of both worlds' as you get Full HD resolution but without the flicker and cost of active glasses (and the added weight). I wouldn't watch a 3D movie with active glasses (I find the flicker too annoying) - but am fine with Passive.
