Prime Darth Tyranus vs 3 BBY Darth Vader

Here (the third strike):

He only really appears stronger then he plays Anakin and Kenobi off one another, or otherwise uses leverage. In that respect, coming off only the better fencer imo.

He's not blowing through Dooku's defenses. Makashi redirects an attack; not block it. Skywalker starts the third strike as an downward attack and ends with his saber going to his left.

V-man

Anakin > Dooku by ROTS obviously. Theres no debate to be had there.

They were more on par during TCW due to Dookus superior control of the Force.

Still ROTS Dooku was capable of some serious power punches as he showed twice - once against each opponent. Opponents being like the 2nd (3rd at worst) and 4th most powerful Jedi.

In the novels Dooku is too old to keep up with vos and Anakin so I give it to Vader

Vader, closely.

Dooku mid dif.

Barely vader, barely. He can tank through lightning at lleast for a little bit.
