Vader's TK is more than slightly above Dooku's/
He has collapsed a cathedral, crushed X wings midflight, and crushed massive droids. Dooku's best feat was lifting massive rocks. Hardly comparable to all of Vader's higher end showings.
That being said Vader takes this with mid-high difficulty. Dooku will kill or Vader will, and Vader will take Dooku out while likely sustaining injury in the process

I don't think Dooku would win against Vader in a pure saber duel. His performance against Anakin in ROTS where he died suggests that his fighting style is not optimal for fighting one of Vader's immense strength.
Well, Vader is physically stronger than Anakin, but I'm not sure if he is as fast as Anakin.

This is TCW Maul by the way or Son Of Dathomir Maul which ever is stronger.
time for ridiculously long as response.
Dooku losing to Anakin obviously plays a huge factor in this Vs thread but remember that while Vader's prowess hasn't deteriorated per say it's not what it once was, he's lost a lot of the things that helped him against the Count, Speed and agility something that Vader is not known for, obviously vader has overwhelming Strength but Dooku has been known to be very agile and precise as well as strong for his age and precision can kill a slow beast, that's not to say he 'stomps' vader but he most certainly is his superior in terms of speed(having actually kept up with yoda's nearly unrivaled speed} agility and overall lightsaber prowess while Vader is Dooku's superior in Strength and versatility having actually created a very unorthodox form that - as emperordmb said in his interesting fighting styles, thread really covers most of Vader's weakness making a strong, effective and versatile foe, i believe that both of them are equal in terms of saber prowess as while they both have a disadvantage(dookus lack of strength and vaders lack of speed) they both have an advantage over each other(Dooku has speed and vader has strength) which really just ends with them going back and forth in a long and drawn out lightsaber duel.
Force power. That said it all will come down to a brutal force fight between Vader and Dooku, with perhaps Vader having the advantage over Dooku, however the thing that i really think could be troublesome for vader is Dooku's for lightning, though we know that Sidious' lightning is obviously stronger than Dooku's it will still do some damage to Vader i mean we saw how force lightning played a vital part in Vaders "defeat" at the hands of Starkiller. still like i said Vader has an advantage in this area so it goes to him.
Outcome. honestly this was hard because while dooku is strong his strength is nowhere near Vaders cyborg and force augmented Strength which grants Vader a HUGE advantage over the good Count and his overall power in the force really does stand out when compared to the count(he is the chosen duh) that said i gotta give it to the Count, i mean agility coupled with precision can kill a slow and strong beast(look at luke with the rancor lol) the fact that Dooku kept up with Yoda's speed along with Anakin and Obi-wan's various amounts of times shows that he IS capable of holding his own against strong opponents with sheer agility, speed and most important of all precision/accuracy and while he may not be as strong as Vader in terms of force powers he has controlled a Krayt Dragon, defeated three nightsister while blinded however what makes very dangerous to Vader is his lightning and while not on Par with Sidious or Starkiller it still gives him an advantage over the fallen jedi knight which can as seen before prove fatal or damaging to Vader, so i declare the good Count Dooku to be the victor!
