A ground engaging tip of a tip assembly for a base edge of a ground engaging implement, wherein the tip assembly includes an adapter configured for attachment to the base edge of the ground engaging implement and having a forwardly extending adapter nose, the ground engaging tip comprising: a rear edge; a top outer surface having a rear portion including the rear edge, a middle portion, and a front portion including a front edge; a bottom outer surface, wherein the top outer surface and the bottom outer surface extend forward from the rear edge of the ground engaging tip and converge at the front edge of the ground engaging tip; first and second side outer surfaces (57, 59) extending forward from the rear edge of the ground engaging tip to the front edge; a nose cavity, within the ground engaging tip and defined by the converging top and bottom outer surfaces (54, 56) and the first and second side outer surfaces (57, 59), for receiving an adapter nose therein; and a support rib on at least one of the first or second side outer surfaces; wherein the nose cavity includes: first and second side inner surfaces opposite the first and second side outer surfaces (57, 59), respectively; a retention channel on at least one of the first and second side inner surfaces (57, 59), the retention channel extending from the rear edge to an aperture on the at least one of the first and second side inner surfaces (57, 59), the retention channel being configured to guide a lug of an adapter into the aperture during installation of the ground engaging tip on the adapter; and an earpad on at least one of the first and second side outer surfaces (57, 59) at a location of the aperture; characterised in that the support rib extends lengthwise from the bottom outer surface to the earpad; the front portion of the top outer surface has a central scoop section behind the front edge, in which scoop section the top outer surface is depressed below the top outer surface; and the rear portion has a concave section which provides a depression that falls below a flat surface of the rear portion which provides a reduction in a wall thickness of the top outer surface in the rear portion. a rear edge; a top outer surface having a rear portion including the rear edge, a middle portion, and a front portion including a front edge; a bottom outer surface, wherein the top outer surface and the bottom outer surface extend forward from the rear edge of the ground engaging tip and converge at the front edge of the ground engaging tip;
