A method and apparatus for antialiasing in a video graphics system is accomplished by determining if a pixel sample set, which results from oversampling, can be reduced to a compressed sample set, where the compressed sample set contains information describing a corresponding pixel. When the pixel sample set can be reduced to a compressed sample set, the compressed sample set is stored in a frame buffer at a location corresponding to the particular pixel that the sample set describes. When the pixel sample set cannot be reduced to a compressed sample set, a pointer is stored at the frame buffer location corresponding to the particular pixel. The pointer points to a selected address in a sample memory at which the complete sample set for the pixel is stored.
