Since vscode is an electron app, have you tried opening it with

$ open -a open -a Visual\ Studio\ Code --args --disable-gpu-vsync --disable-smooth-scrolling --disable-frame-rate-limit

Yes, that doesn't help unfortunately. There is a github issue with a long discussion, and none of the tips have seemed to help.
