Tippet didn't record his first major until the third quarter but the floodgates opened once he bent a banana through the big sticks after marking an Aliir Aliir bomb.
He then finished truly from 45m after marking a Jeremy Laidler kick, before doing the same when spotted up 35m out from Jordan Foote.
Tippett, 30, finished with 28 hit outs in the ruck, 21 disposals, nine marks and five tackles as Sydney ran riot over the depleted Giants.
Gary Rohan played after missing Thursday's AFL win over the Western Bulldogs with illness and kicked two goals, while Aliir, Laidler and youngsters Oliver Florent and Jordan Dawson all played starring roles.
Swans coach John Longmire axed the under-performing Tippett from Thursday's strong win over the Bulldogs, favouring Callum Sinclair to partner returning ruckman Sam Naismith.
That was easily Sydney's best performance of the season, and Longmire might well be tempted to give Tippett another week in the reserves despite the highly paid big man's strong showing against the Giants.
Veteran Heath Grundy, who played a starring role in the win over the Bulldogs on Thursday, backed Tippett would return to his best at AFL level.
"At his best, he's one of the best ruckman in the competition," Grundy said.
"He showed that last year he had a really good first half of the year last year and was really dominating.
"He'll just go back to the twos this week and get a bit of touch and a bit of confidence back and I'm sure he won't be too far away.
"With guys pushing up from the reserves it's always a good sign. When guys are pushing for spots it makes it important to play well each week, and the more we can have that the better it is for us as a side, it's healthy for the group."
Such was the Swans' dominance in the NEAFL on Saturday, the Giants failed to kick a goal until late in the third quarter. They returned just two majors for the match against the team they vanquished in last season's NEAFL decider.
The win returned Sydney's reserves to the top of the ladder while the reigning premiers GWS remain stranded at the bottom with just one win for the year.
