Reconciling sources, Mace Windu and Dooku were direct peers in lightsaber combat and the Force (with Yoda suggesting Dooku being slightly better) prior to Dooku leaving. Sources state that Dooku's skills further increased after leaving the Jedi Order (not to mention newfound dark-side abilities). Thus, Dooku was likely superior to Mace Windu at the start of the war (based on their respective performances against Asajj Ventress and Sora Bulq), but Mace Windu surpassed him in the late-war due to all the battlefield experience (based on Nick Gillard's levels and his performance against Palpatine), resulting in him being a high 8, low 9 whereas Dooku just an 8.
